WELCOME TO RIVER DAVES PLACE

Space X launch

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

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

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

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😳
 
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.
 
Could be a good show tonight out of Vandenberg

I just happen to walk out side to get my mail and saw it, I can figure out how to pull a screenshot from my video. I’ll post it, it’s not very impressive. I have an old phone.🤣
 
Didn't know there was a luanch tonight . . . washing the dog from a beach session, look up and see it coming
Shitty iphone pic. from HB . . . (PS - anyone who thinks the camera on the new iphone pro max is any good is on glue . . . the one on my XR model was better)

What time was that? I got out of bed and went out to see it but didn't see shit. I think I was a little late or looking toward the wrong area.

A little early for a good show.
 
@185EZ Should be able to see it from the water. Should be a great view of the booster landing on the barge.
 
I just looked on their website; it doesn't show a launch tonight...
