Excellent launch and landing. I like toast, even crunched.  :D

See you Sunday.

Congrats SpaceX for making this slightly more exciting than usual.  Lot of suspense waiting for that landing confirmation.

I was too young to see the flight of our second Bulgarian cosmonaut and I was not yet born when our first satellite and our first cosmonaut launched.

Today, however, I feel privileged to see the launch of our second satellite in space. Although Bulgaria is a space country - bulgarian instrument is currently flying aboard ExoMars-2016 around Mars, and we've launched a similar instrument aboard Chandrayaan-1 to the moon, the fact that we have a private satellite in space is significant.

Thank you, SpaceX, for making us, Bulgarians, feel proud.
