I swear I heard center core didn't make it but hard to hear. Congrats 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Don't panic FH 2nd stage! You still have 6 hours of work to do!

Want to know what happened to the booster heading for the drone ship. Oh, and how about a press conference!

Those simultaneous landings... - Holy cow, the future is here.

Conrats to SpaceX on an absolutely stunning launch, a great show and a successful double booster landing! I still can't believe my eyes! Let's hope the center booster came down right as well!
"Don't Panic!" was a nice easter egg!

What a beautiful, fantastic, amazing, stupendous, and flawless launch. I never thought anything could come close to how fantastic a shuttle launch was. I was wrong. FH is right up there!

I have to admit I teared up a bit. It was well worth the wait to see this bird fly. Congratulations to SpaceX! Here's to many more successful missions as we endeavor to become a multi-planet species!

So THAT is what the future looks like! Not the first time I've yelled out loud and scared the dogs during a SpX launch, but definitely the loudest!

The booster return! Pure sci-fi magic!

Bravi !

Only 10 seconds from "center core has landing burn startup" to "we lost the center core". Sounds like the 3-engine landing burn needs a little work yet.

Still, AWESOME so far. Hope the rest of the mission completes as planned.

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

Seems the strapon booster feeds were duplicated, each one showed the other one's reenty burn below and the same timing of cold gas thruster firing.

The sight of the TWO boosters coming in for a landing, is a memory I will cherish forever.
I saw the future, and it was NOW!

Congratulations to SpaceX, for pulling of the most memorable moment in space since "one small step..."

Wow just wow. Slowly picking up my jaw from the floor.

Congratulations to SpaceX and to Elon and to everyone involved.

From my heart, sincerely thank you!

I know its not over yet, but congrats SpaceX! The 2 boosters landing together is about the coolest thing I ever saw. I‘m officially eating the words of my earlier, downbeat post and am now a SpaceX fanboi!

5 years of waiting -- paid off, with interest. And how.
