I worked for SES for 18 years. My peers still working at SES were very nervous. But very happy now. SES-20 is in transfer orbit. They have two more burns to do before getting into geostationary orbit. $150M satellite launches are exciting!

Today's launch was good.

The first stage has successfully landed on the recovery barge, making the first time that a refurbished SpaceX booster has been flown and returned. Unfortunately, the video feed of when it happened was lost.

Meanwhile, the second stage is well on its way.

Well done!
