Huge congratulations to everyone involved in today's launch and landing!
I unfortunately couldn't watch live, but NSF always has the play-by-play to get me back up to speed. Can't wait to see more launches before the year is out - SpaceX is 2/3rds of all U.S. orbital launches so far in 2017, and currently only one launch behind the entirety of Russia (though I believe Russia has more launches planned in the end of the year). We shall see, but either way, it's been an incredible year for spaceflight!

Congratulations to SpaceX and all others involved on another successful launch. It's amazing how quickly that first stage landing has become routine and reliable.

Congratulations SpaceX, love these clean countdowns, launch and landings.
Looking forward to fairing news, hopefully.

Any landing is much better than just throwing the booster away.
Looking forward to extra Block V performance and FH closing the gap on the upper end so not only all launches are recoverable but recovery within specs for relaunch.
And the SpaceX steamroller is picking up speed.

No longer watching these launches live due to busy life but mostly due to SpaceX removing the excitement factor somewhat. That, as Musk has said, is a marvellous goal to achieve. Kudos!
I'll tune into Falcon Heavy though :-)

Awesome launch and landing again! First stage was indeed toasted a bit, but I am sure it will be OK.
I am glad that launches are so routine and uneventful now that people consider them "boring", despite a dramatically increased launch cadence. I hope it stays that way! I want to see more and more boring every month! No RUDs, please!

Wait till they do 3 at once.
Until the Zuma announcement I thought they best they could do is hit 19 launches this year. 20 seems very doable.

Congrats to SpaceX, Eastern Range, KT Sat, and all others for the successful launch and deployment of Koreasat 5a.
Thanks to Steven, and Chris
2 for the coverage. I was not available to watch the launch live
and I really appreciate the PBP coverage from the NSF crew.

Wow, Ben Cooper has outdone himself! A whole bunch of new angles used this time
Edit: replaced the obnoxious Flickr URLs with something less dysfunctional.

As a Korean, I thank SpaceX for their flawless launch service in putting Mugunghwa 5A satellite into orbit. Also, props to KT Sat for choosing a launch provider that gives me a great webcast.

Congrats SpaceX and everybody involved including people involved in NSF coverage.
Got home barely in time to catch the webcast. Voted for 13 SpX launches this year and I was never happier to be proven wrong.
and I really appreciate the PBP coverage from the NSF crew.
