A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket returns Dragon to the ISS as it launches the eighth such resupply mission, and then makes the first successful droneship landing

 on Of Course I Still Love You some 200 miles out in the Atlantic Ocean. This was the 150th liftoff I have photographed since I started in 1999!
