Good job for all the team. It's particularly good to see SLC-40 back in service and delivering such a flawless flight so far!

Huge congratulations to SpaceX! What a nice week it has been so far - flight of New Shepard, landing of Soyuz MS-5 and launch of reused Falcon and reused Dragon.

Congrats to the SpaceX team on the smooth launch and landing. After 45 days of waiting and a No-Launch November (surprisingly, SpaceX has never done a launch to orbit in November), it's nice to see the Falcon spread her wings again!

NASA TV coverage coming to a close by showing a set of launch replays of the 15:36:09 UTC liftoff from Cape Canaveral's SLC-40.

I'm ZachS09, and I'll see you during the last H-IIA launch of 2017.

T+6 minutes. Stage 1 entry burn startup.

Congrats to all.  Love the view of descending S1, with its own contrail in the background.

And, welcome back, SLC40!!

Congrats to SpaceX for the successful launch.  To the NSF team for providing triple TV coverage too.

Many congratulations to SpaceX and NASA. I was getting serious withdrawal symptoms after nearly 7 weeks without a SpaceX launch!

Fanatastic to see yet another successful booster and Dragon reuse too. Now NASA has reused a booster I think we can consider reuse to be practically routine :D
