Fantastic to have Falcon back in the air, in the scheme of things this short outage was just a minor blip. Here's to an incident free 2017!

The SpaceX webcasts now coming to a close. I will also sign off for today. Have a nice day, everyone, and I'll see you during the launch night of EchoStar 23.

Congrats SpaceX on a nice, smooth RTF. Awesome footage of the first stage, and nice that the webcast stayed on for Sat deploy confirmation, as that is the main mission.

Onto the next dozen!

Congratulations to SpaceX, Iridium and Vandenberg AFB ... that's the way to do a RTF... and that view of the S1 landing - Amazing!

Looking forward to the rest of the launches this year - may they all be "Nominal" :)

Apart from the loss of a ground station and the resulting sweaty palms, a perfect mission and a perfect RTF! Now onto Echostar in a couple of weeks time!

Well done to the teams at Iridium, SpaceX and Vandenberg AFB!
