Unbelievable! Watching the first stage land was truly amazing and brought tears to my eyes.

Many many congratulations SpaceX. You keep perservering and one by one you're ticking off those historic milestones. Bravo!

This is one of the few times that i don't think 'Congrats' is a good enough word....

But for lack of a better....Congrats SpaceX on once again pushing the envelope WAY further out.

Also...did anyone else hear the loud thud as the mouths of the other space players hit the ground

Major congratulations for a very smooth launch and stage recovery go to SpaceX - my face hurts from smiling about the barge landing - and thanks for a great coverage job as usual from the crew here at NSF.

I was stuck in traffic for the launch, but I got home with 3 minutes to spare to witness that barge landing.

It's incredibly amazing to watch a moment of space flight history live!

Congratulations to SpaceX, and a huge Thank You for NSF!

Congratulations from Austria! Incredible!

I did not cry (that was in December).
But my "They fxxxing did it!!" woke my wife upstairs.

Good job!

And since no good deed goes unpunished, you're hereby sentenced to do it again.

Many, many times.

Well done. Well done!

Outstanding! Congratulations to all concerned. Glad to see the barge and its cargo on board. Now, get it secured and back to port.

Looking forward to seeing BEAM unfurled, too.

Great flight. Happy landing!

"SX, this is MSFC. You think you could help us a bit in a "'landing upgrade" for our SLS? It's a bit bigger, but ..."

Congrats to SX and specifically the Grasshopper team, for causing this to happen.

Looking forward to relaunch.
