Wow, I haven't been keeping up...so the booster lands on a drone ship? This whole thing is all kinds of awesome!

19 hours to ISS. How far is the ISS? SpaceX seem to do everything tsimpler and smoother than NASA. Look at the control room. A few rows of tables, a few tech at each table, and that's it. Not crowded and full of consoles like a NASA control room.
Great launch, congrats to all involved. I bet Elon is pumped

They've done it dozens of times now, reflown the same booster as many as 5 times.

I'm sure an orbital rendezvous is much more complicated than simple distance.
And welcome to 2020, I guess? <shrug>

Now I want to tour Kennedy Space Center again, or maybe Johnson in Houston.
EDIT: I was alive for all Saturn V launches (but only 2 months old for first flight).

I remember the landing booster now (as well as the 'Heavy Metal' car). Hope my memory isn't already starting to slip.

I SAW almost all the Saturn Launches, including the early Saturn I. From the beach a 1/4 from my house. Approx 30 mi s of the pad.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Have the DirecTV DVR set to record ISS docking at 9AM on NASA station, but I plan to watch it live.

Went outside tonight with my 10 year old son and watched as the ISS flew over our house, followed shortly after by a small rapidly moving star- the Crew Dragon capsule carrying Bob and Doug. So very cool to be able to witness the pursuit of the space station taking place right over our home!
I'm also excited that a private company has this capability and that they can make it available to whoever they want.

With the style of the suits, the minimalist consoles and the fact they can float about in polo shirts and trousers...I'm having 2001 flashbacks. what a wonderful achievement and a privilege to watch the live stream. However, still some twats commenting that it is all faked.
floating in polo shirt and trousers was pretty common on the space shuttle also. The suits are for launch/reentry when they need to be extra protected.
