Looked great, smooth and undramatic. Congrats on a great job done by SpaceX, and enjoy your new satellite Luxembourg.
With thanks as ever to NSF for coverage and camaraderie.

Congratulations to SpaceX on another successful launch and a payload in orbit. Looking forward to Falcon Heavy.
Rest up pad crews, you have a busy year ahead of you!
Congrats to SES for the payload and the Eastern Range for another successful day.
See you all there for the Heavy!

Making it look routine. So odd not to watch a first stage recovery but OK. Congrats to SpaceX, SES, Luxembourg, and all involved, and thanks to the NSF stalwarts who did such a nice job of coverage. Lovely pics, Chris G!

Yes, congratulations to SpaceX, SES and Luxembourg
. These F9 launches really do feel routine now.
Felt sorry for the booster. Do you think it’s kinder to not tell it in advance that there won’t be an ASDS there to meet it ...
Most of all I feel pleased to get this launch done, so we can all move on the next week’s excitement!

Congratulations to SpaceX, the Eastern Range, SES and Luxembourg on what looks to be a successful launch of SES-16 / GovSat-1. I get that it's boring to wait until AOS, and after that system checkout, so let's assume it's a successful launch.
But to be fair SpaceX had a anomaly yesterday that needs to be worked upon. Most likely weather would have prohibited launch yesterday. But if SpaceX wants to reach higher launch rates, they can't waist launch days on system anomalies. Yes I'm harsh here, but it's the hard truth.
Good luck keeping improving the Falcon launch system. The best of luck with the maiden Falcon Heavy launch.
I really would like my pessimistic view on re-usability to be proven wrong.

Congratulations to SpaceX, SES, and Luxembourg on a nice, smooth launch!
Thanks to Steven and the Chrises (G. & B.) for your coverage. I couldn't watch the video of the ascent live and had to follow via your posts then go back to watch during the coast. Much appreciated.

Luxembourg PM:
Impressive to finally see 🛰 #GovSat1 on its way to orbit🚀. This is the beginning of a new experience for 🇱🇺. @GovSat is strengthening the position of Luxembourg as a key player in the space sector and contributes to a diversification of our economy.
