Webcast callout, paraphrased:
Quote
"For those of you keeping score, this is our 44th successful landing.  This is our secondary mission at SpaceX, it's our commitment to you for reusability".

The NASA TV feed showed only the returning booster and missed Dragon deploy... Fail
Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."

Was that the first time we've ever seen the solar array deployment from S2? It was very brief and right at the bottom of the screen.

SpaceX mission control with a model of the Saturn V. Looks like the controllers are dressed in appropriate white shirts and thin black tie!

Today’s launch of CRS-18 to the International @Space_Station at 6:01pm EDT, as seen from the roof of NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building.

Falcon 9’s first stage returned to land at Landing Zone 1 shortly after launch.

What an incredible sight!

Launch and landing -- #Falcon9 lifts with Dragon from SLC-40 and then returns to CCAFS just several minutes later. #spacex #crs18
