Sat in the back yard and watched it. Brings my wife and I back to the days when we sat in the back yard and watched the space shuttle launches.

Link to original video: https://youtu.be/86vsQj3ahL8j Fair amount of cloud cover so we only got a glimpse | |||

That was an awesome launch. I've been in aviation for 30 years, I never get tired of this stuff.  "Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right!" - GhostBusters II "You have all the tools you need. Don't blame them. Use them." - Dan Worrall | |||

The high quality of automation, planning, and execution was amazing to watch. Boring compared to wathcing the Apollo vehicle liftoffs. Boring is the wrong word but you get my point. That was outstanding. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E. Coyote School of DIY Disaster | |||

Watched it from my rooftop with my parents, wife and kids. We watch as many of these as we can, and was great. Was able to follow for almost 9 minutes with binoculars (police Steiner’s from a deal on this forum years ago). The plume of the second stage in the vacuum was unreal and very cool.

Watched the launch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thrilling. When the shuttle program ended I absolutely hated the idea that we had to pay the Russians to hitch a ride to the ISS. We had no replacement launch vehicles until Space X. Kudos to Elon Musk. | |||

The sound was great. Dragon is a perfect name-it was breathing and alive just before liftoff.  This message has been edited. Last edited by: SigSentry, | |||
