SpaceX launch going nicely.
Snidely submitted this gripping article, maybe on Sunday:

From what I've seen so far, the SpaceX launch today is going nicely.
First stage successfully landed on the barge. This is a first for the
Vandenberg barge: Just Read the Instructions.
Second stage made it to parking orbit. Right now is a long coasting
period before second stage two performs another burn.
10 out of 10 on the "Iridium Next" satellite deployments.
Congrats to SpaceX on a successful return to flight!
Brian's email reported good visibility up through stage separation.
The first stage return was beautiful video.
There's something separating and disappearing to the left at T +5:33,
just shortly after the steering fins deployed; then boost-back at
+6:30, and the booster sticks the landing at +8:12.
