Congratulations to the teams at SpaceX, NASA, and everyone else involved in the successful launch of the Falcon/Dragon rocket and to the two American Heros that have placed their names in the history books next to all the other heroes of American spaceflight.

A great day indeed.

    Yup! Fantastic launch!

    Let’s hope all continues to go smoothly with the docking at the ISS, tomorrow morning Pacific time.
    Alea jacta est!

    Glad to see the best of what America has to offer while some other "unsavory" incidents are happening on the ground. What a great silver lining and shining example of what can be accomplished when folks come together.

    Congrat's to America, SpaceX and NASA for a job well done!

    I forgot to watch it! Just watched the video; looks like it went smoothly. Glad to see that.

    Great accomplishment and good for my paycheck. My company's software is heavily responsible for the success of most missions.

    Elon Musk, making NASA great again.

    Good job SpaceX and NASA.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    SpaceX is certainly on a roll. It will be hard for competitors to catch up. Love the way they recover the first stage in order to reuse it. Elon Musk might be a bit eccentric, but many visionaries are.

    It certainly was a nice distraction today! I’m glad to see we’ve made manned space flight a priority again.

    Also noticed that the coverage has come light years (pun) from what it used to be - kind of reminded me of a Ken Block video, with a dozen GoPros stuck all over the rocket:-)

    Certainly is great to see the USA is back to sending explorers into space in our own vehicles.

    Alot of folks laughed at Elon Musk when he started SpaceX.

    Wonder what the timetable is to land on the moon again?

    Exciting times for us space nerds!
    No excuses!
