William's article updated to where we are (good launch and landing), but pending USAF release on good S/C Sep for the X-37B.

https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2017/09/spacex-first-x-37b-launch-falcon-9/

When they arrives, it'll be posted here and then it's mission success and you can all do your one post of congrats, per tradition :)

Can already thanks those who provided coverage, not least Steven (and his technical support, Leo) :)

Great job by our team at the Cape today to get this historic launch off before #Irma2017 hits. Now stay safe out there! @SpaceX

Hurricane?  What hurricane?  Press on, SpaceXers!  Get that booster in the barn, and batten down the hatches!  And congrats on another success!

Too late, Chris! We've all gone home!

Seriously, it was quite a launch with lots of impressive visuals from the offshore clouds there!
