From SpaceX (via Twitter):
Today's recovery operations are being managed by an all-female crew. In fact, we believe it to be the first all-female crew for any kind of operation such as this.
Our recovery teams are responsible for operating the recovery vessels, securing and recovering the booster, and everything else required to make these operations possible.

Here are photos of tonight's Falcon 9 SpaceX Dragon cargo CRS-27 launch from here in the Savannah, Georgia area. The first photo is the the launch, the second photo is the first stage doing its boostback burn to get it heading back to the landing barge. The lighter trail going up is the second stage burning toward orbit.
