Loud sonic boom shook the house. I was wtf then just guessed it was space x. Was probably a great visual.

This one didn't wake me up

It was!
I just left for work at 5:20, heading west and I see this orange flame in the sky. It was still dark and the full moon was to the left. I didn’t know what it was but after a minute, I figured it was a SpaceX launch. Then it must have gone behind some clouds because it disappeared. I thought something not good might have happened but a minute later I see the white-blue jet blast that I’m used to seeing and the primary boosters coming back down. I tried to get a picture, but there was too much light pollution from the street lights.

I stood in the water on a beach on Astronaut Blvd to watch a launch @ Cape Canaveral on March 24th. After watching/filming it take off I'm walking away and a local comes barrelling through on a bike yelling get ready for the boom, get ready for the boom! I thought he was crazy. It was like 9 minutes later & BOOM! He says. I'm a local so I know about this shit LOL. Pretty cool to watch up close but I really would like to get on base to watch. Apparently you can get tickets to do it.

The setup/geometry/physics involved in getting to the right exact spot for that shot are mind-blowing..

We watched with the grandkids from the backyard. Not alot visible and wish it was a later launch as it's super clear now. They really liked watching the booster land back at the pad on the big screen.

I'm 48, and I like watching that stuff happen. Amazing stuff.

The Starship launches are on another level. Worth the trip from Houston to Port Isabelle. Hopefully later this month.

Might be a little better viewing tonight, 6:15 pm out of Vandenberg
Also at 11:36 pm out of Florida

Hopefully, the clouds clear out, I’ll set my alarm.

 

[TPC]

Speaking of Elon,, anyone have a deposit on the Tesla Roadster?

 

[185EZ]

No view from Havasu
1st stage separation was easier to see especially with it falling back to earth
Landing on the pad also had better video
Amazing everytime that big tube can fall so fast and land within a circle

Somebody needs to call and tell them to change their schedule so I can see it from Havasu. Much better in the early evening

There is a chance that this one will have a rapid unscheduled disassembly

Well, it did. Lol

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Well, it did. Lol

The FAA is going to put the screws to SpaceX if they can't get something to not spray debris all over. Plus NASA is hot on Musk to validate this platform or it will put the test flight to the Moon in jeopardy.

They knew this one had the chance of blowing up, they pushed the landing to the limits

 

[Done-it-again]

Well, it did. Lol

From the sound of it, the disassembly was 98% going to happen as they added unnecessary drag pressure against the rocket on its descent to find its breaking point and it wasn't coming back to the launch pad anyways.

I think that was this boosters 2nd flight today

Starship spinning in space. Loses control.

I was in Cape Canaveral Florida on Friday May 9. got to see (more heard and felt) a launch at 0230 am. ran out to the patio of the condo we were renting and saw the rocket traveling southeast toward the sea. total bad ass. Made my visit to the Kennedy Space Center the next day more exiting. There was supposed to be a launch on Sat night too. We had planned to take out beach chairs out to Cocoa beach and watch the whole thing, but unfortunately it was pushed to the following night.
