Incredibly smooth launch and landing (almost thought it was going up too slowly). Congrats to SES and to SpaceX for completing another incredible milestone!

Congratulations, SpaceX! A small but very important piece of spaceflight history has been accomplished.
Congrats as well to SES, the spacecraft manufacturer, the Eastern Range, "DockX" crews manning the recovery vessels and all involved.
Very exciting times to be a space fan.

For me, this was the most nerve racking and emotional launch that I think I have ever watched. The feeling at MECO was nothing short of elation. It *works*. Reuse is actually possible.
More than ten years ago when I joined this forum, my very first post was a question about first stage reuse. This was way back before propulsive vertical landing became a serious proposition. Recovery and reuse was a theory; today it became a fact.

Wonderful, wonderful!! Pieces will go to SES's boardroom. Any guess if this one is kept for history?

"Looks like we're where we want to be!"
Congrats and wow!
And I'll take advantage of my one post to also comment:
He looked at his screen for a bit and then said "good enough orbit". That 'enough' is enough to make me worry.
