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 video this time was very good. Live landing video broke up a bit,
but was still exciting to watch it live.
