I thought I saw the droneship in one of the background camera views near the end... not sure if the booster was on it though    :-[

Excellent. May have noticed a yaw motion on left booster release - watch for it in the replay.

That was incredibly awesome watching the boosters land side by side.  Congrats SpaceX!  Keep pushing the envelope, forcing the rest of the space industry to follow or be left in the dust.

WAUW!!!

My jaw completely dropped* at the synchronous landing of the boosters. I had expected them to be at least a few seconds of from each other.

Fantastic test flight. Looks like the start of another fantstic year for SpaceX. Congratulations.

*Not hyperbole, I litterally sat there with an open mouth.

Even though this fell precisely in the middle of the night for me, my body somehow woke me up at T-1:30 and I managed to watch it live... what a show. Hats off, this is an outstanding achievement, the team at SpaceX are exceptional without a doubt.

Congratulations (x3) !

Elon said he'd be happy if the vehicle got far enough away from 39-A that it didn't damage the pad. It looks like he'll be happy then.

Congratulations SpaceX on your most awesome launch yet!

Congrats on such an amazing achievement.    The launch, the car, the double landing - it was like seeing the future.  Most amazing launch ever for me.
