Two launches.
Two landings.
Two days.
Two oceans.
Two droneships.
Second flight. 
Second batch.

A future where rockets launch every single week is now in sight.


(Longer explanation: )
SpaceX has launched two rockets this weekend, and both have returned to Earth relatively safely. The first one was a refurbished rocket carrying Bulgaria's first comms satellite, and it landed on "Of Course I Still Love You", the droneship, in the Atlantic Ocean. Re-entry was hot and the shock absorbers were nearly all spent, but it's in good shape. The second carried the second batch of Iridium satellites that will provide a strong network of complete global coverage in communications. This one landed on "Just Read the Instructions", which sat in the Pacific Ocean amidst some turbulent weather.
