Thanks ! Really proud of the rocket and SpaceX team today. Min apogee requirement was 28,000 km, Falcon 9 achieved 43,000 km.

That means that you could have returned the rocket?

Probably not. Margin is desirable, and that much difference in apogee happens quickly once in orbit. Getting to orbit is the tough part.

It was a long few days of testing over the Brexit 1776 weekend but it paid off

Would it have been possible to land stage 1 knowing this?

No. The min. wasn't their target, it was a "have to reach." At the min. Intelsat could still position itself, but would lose lifespan.
