Obviously hoping for a safe primary mission first. Tons of fun stuff after that potentially though. OctoGrabber...Transform!

Edit: Very nervous

That was intense, It was the most exciting nervous launch/landing ever, almost more than the first one

Congrats, Elon and the Team!
Now go party!

Woo! Apollo-level moment here*.

* - I think. I wasn't yet in existence back then.

There's still one burn to go and separation.

Elon at a loss for words. Who can blame him? A significant milestone for space travel!

 

[Gerasimental]

AHGHGHGHGHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Sorry, I know this is usually a forum of measured discourse, but I can't quite contain my excitement. This is momentous. Possibly the biggest day in SpaceX's history since the first successful launch of Falcon 1.

Also, I have rarely seen Elon so emotional (for his standards...)

Saw the garage door for the OctoGrabber was up before the feed cut.

Edit: Maybe not. The green clover leaf was still visible. That's the door that rotates up though.

Remember Huge Thanks for SES too for wanting to be the first to use a re-usable delivery system!!
