It never gets boring. Congratulations to all a SpaceX and NASA. Many thanks to the NSF team for the usual great coverage. Looking forward to watching the NASA TV coverage...

Launch to orbit. Land. Repeat.

It will never, ever get boring to me!

Congratulations to all involved.

New thread for berthing.

Thanks to Chris at KSC for NSF and Steven for the main coverage here and all that helped!

Congratulations to SpaceX and NASA. That's how it is done - and without tossing away a pricy booster like the Other Guys are still doing.

Congratulations to SpaceX, Air Force, NASA & Coast Guard & others for an awesome launch & on time mission. Also to be noted SPX-12 marks the final mission from original contract.

Post-launch news conference still on for 14:00 EDT. If you have questions you'd like me to try to ask, PM me. Can't guarantee I'll be able to ask them all, but I'll try.

Congratulations to the teams at SpaceX and NASA for another stunning launch and thanks to the NSF team for providing the best coverage anywhere!

With today's landing, SpaceX has successfully landed as many rockets in 2017 as China has launched all year - and that's including the LM-5 failure and LM-3 partial failure! Talk about a global power.

Congratulations to everyone involved in today's mission - it was incredibly smooth, showing that the countdown aborts during the last mission were the exception rather than the rule.

Travelled across the country to see this in person. First launch that I have seen from Florida, and the first landing that I have ever seen. SR 401 north of the port is the place to watch. Clear view of the pad even though it's far and a great spot to see the landing too. Just make sure to bring binoculars. Luckily there were only a few clouds. Couldn't have asked for much better during the Florida afternoon. Well worth the trip, and now I am going to try to see the Atlas launch too.

Congrats to everyone involved!

Congrats to SpaceX and NASA, beautiful to see Falcon 9 and Dragon return after the one-month hiatus!

11 successful launches and we're still in August. Well done to all involved parties!

From my layover in Hangzhou. I'm almost exactly halfway around the world, it's midnight here, they're cracking down on VPNs and the Great Firewall is blocking youtube so I can't get a signal on my laptop, and I had to resort to watching it on my work computer via a slow 2g connection, which wasn't much. Many thanks to NSF for the coverage, and Space X for keeping the dream alive.

Awesome work, SpaceXers! Keep on pushing, you're doing the work NO ONE else can do!

All participants are here for post-flight, so that's going to be on time.

Participants are Dan (NASA) and Hans (SpaceX).

Presser, so let's keep the congrats to a minimum during this part!

Dan: Nice to be off the pad and avoid all those constraints if the weather hadn't cooperated. Extremely happy to be on our way. Dragon is healthy and on its way to ISS. Crew is ready for aggressive research over the next month. It's gonna be a fun 30days for the crew.

Special thanks to the late load team. They got called off pad due to weather. Lost 2hrs in late load for that. Did a great job of getting everything. Were slightly late on the turn-over at the pad, but it all went great.

Berthing is Wednesday morning. Jack is prime SSRMS operator. No issue on ISS that would prevent good berthing.
