great view this morning of the rocket launch... first time I've ever witnessed the separation of the rocket stages so clearly.. then just being able to see stage 1 just slowly start to descend as stage 2 continued to the space station

That was the most spectacular launch I've ever seen. Perfectly clear conditions and the big circle as it went through thin clouds was amazing.

It was amazing! From main engine cut off and when second stage started - it was like a giant spotlight turned on in the sky! And seeing the fireworks of the first stage as it adjusted and descended was equally cool! My son works at SpaceX in Cali on third shift and he was watching outside the control room. Sent him pics of the spotlight and he hadn’t seen something like that either.

One could very clearly see the first stage separation and then it's return while the capsule (second stage) continued to climb. And, a picture of what remained in the sky for many minutes.

Amazing sight

Slashing the costs of space travel and future exploration, is a huge game changer. It's simply amazing to me, to be able to land a booster rocket on a drone recovery barge, so as to be able to reuse it later. Say what you will about Elon Musk, he's the closest thing we have in real life to Tony Stark.

I tried to video record it on my phone but all I got was a big orange ball.

I didn't notice the stages separating.

This was the best photo and video I have ever taken. Watching on TV, doesn’t compare to the incredible view site this morning

Dang I wish I'd gotten up earlier to see it. I thought it'd be the usual, but it sounds and looks like it wasn't the typical viewing. Loved the fact that it's a recycled rocket too. Crazy impressive.
