Great work on RTF SpaceX! Loved the rocketcam view of landing. More importantly new polar orbiting comsats for Iridium have been deployed successfully, places like Point Barrow, AK, Spitsbergen, Amundsen Scott station at the South Pole and other polar regions have better communications options.

Very good start to 2017

Congratulation to SpaceX, Iridium, the Western Range and Thales Alenia on the successful launch of this first batch of Iridium NEXT.

Congratulations to SpaceX ! Each new launch provides us with an even better experience. We could almost forget how hard space is, given how easy you make it look !!!
A successfull launch, a succesfull landing, and (almost) all of that retransmitted in direct for all of us to watch all the way up to space and all the way down to the ground ?
You're spoiling us !!!

Well done, SpaceXers! Now, quit making changes and get some hardware in orbit!

Brilliant! It's been a grueling few months without the Falcon 9, but now that it's back, everyone can go back to the boring business of launching and landing rockets.

Congratulations to everyone involved, and here's hoping for a wonderful launch-filled year to come!

Roger, SpaceX. We copy 10 in orbit and one on JRTI. You had a bunch of guys and gals about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot.

Don't shoot 'em, just spank 'em

Hearty congrats to SpaceX. Kudos for finding a way to make the stage 1 landing video work better. Big kudos for keeping the webcast going all the way to all deployments confirmed. Way to go!

Back on track with a perfect launch and landing.

Lots to look forward to in 2017.
