    When nobody else reuses orbit class rockets, it was hard to see if only for a very short time SpaceX grounded for the loss on landing of a 23 mission veteran. So happy to see them flying again. I think NASA and some crewmembers of the the ISS had a severe pucker time when the FAA grounded Falcon 9.

    I missed the launch, I dozed off due to the time difference... but it's okay, it was a success, and that's the most important thing. Congratulations to the great team. 🔥🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀👏👏👏👏👏👏🌟❤️❤️💫

    Good job SpaceX,
    A rare landing failure of a fleet leader, a mishap investigation and a grounding then a return to flight with a doubleheader. All within 72 hours. 👏

    As overcast as it has been in HB don’t think I would have seen it. In consideration of moving to Florida, being near Cape Canaveral is one of my considerations just so I can watch things take off. But I thought I heard Elon is planning on moving them to the west coast or at least the landings of the boosters.

      Well, of course you are posting well after the launch happened but, no. Vandenberg Space Force Base is 3000 miles (5000 km) west of you. You could not have seen the launch from Miami.

      @@Just-Dave- LOL. Well, you certainly wouldn't be the first person seriously to underestimate the size of this country. I remember reading once about some people who thought they could drive from New York City to Denver in a few hours. They had to rearrange their itinerary.
      Of course, SpaceX had a busy night. They had launched another rocket just an hour before this one, from Cape Canaveral. You could have seen that one.
