SpaceX Falcon 9 flight tonight

Post by Hammer »

My daughters and I got a view of the spectacular launch tonight. I did get video on my phone, I will see if I can get it uploaded. It was spectacular because it was just 30 minutes or so after sunset, yet the rocket and the exhaust were still in the sunlight. I believe I captured the first stage separation as well (the part that will go land on a platform in the ocean).

It was pretty cool. You can even see the second stage flying behind the rocket and slowly falling behind and below to go land on the platform in the ocean.

The commentary is the best part of that video!

My grandparents lived north or Orlando and would go on their front porch and watch the Shuttle at every opportunity!

I think another launch in a day or so!
