Who's watching?     This will either go really good or amazingly bad.

What's your bet?

Something will go wrong, but not immediately. And they will learn something from it.

Triple core landing attempt, though! So sexy!

We're probably all going to go stand out in the parking lot and watch.

Still waiting.

You should be seeing people talking about the rocket, try switching camera angles with the icon next to the settings icon. Says it'll launch in 13 minutes now.

So close, 1.5M viewers on SpaceX's channel.  Just under 5 min to go.

Hey everything worked. Neat!

The tandem landing of the boosters was surreal.

Don't panic! Was a nice touch on the infotainment system.

That launch made me miss home.  We used to be able to watch launches from my front yard.

The tandem booster landing was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Simply amazing!...Especially the simultaneous parallel booster landing.

Any word yet on if the center core landing was also successful?

Ok, watched the footage.

Looked like the animations, which is well...flawless. 

Hurray!

Dunno, but there's already a dozen GIF memes about searching to find out whether it is safe or not.

The auxilliary booster landings: BERK EFFIN YEAH.

...and the center booster already has its own Twitter handle @FalconMainCore.  Kinda funny so far.

I'm guessing not, as they haven't confirmed success yet. But holy cow, it's the second Space Age!
