Great launch. Everything went well. Cloud cover hid what we normally see

Watching. Very cool. So neat to see a launch every time. 12,000 mph is hauling azz!

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. Feels great that the United States is back to launching Astronauts to the space station.

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.

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.

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.

it was visible from Tampa
saw it live as it rocketed into orbit -- i just happened to be at the right place at the right time (driving to pick up a pizza) lol
there was a long line of cars pulled over and we quickly realized what everyone was looking up at
