Did any of you folks see that launch this morning?

WOW, what a show!!!!!

From where I live in central Florida it was something else to see. I was having my coffee outside at 6:15 when I saw it coming up, perfect clear skies made it quite an amazing site.

I watched a few several years ago. They're really spectacular at dawn and dusk.

In the late 60's we saw a lot of rockets blow up, from where we lived, while they were testing the Mercury and Gemini rockets. Some would spin like crazy then blow up, pretty spectacular to a Teenage boy.

My favorite launch was the last Moon shot, I was 8 miles away on a causeway (close as we could get) and it lite the sky and the area I was in, like one of those amber colored street lights, it took the engine sound a couple minutes to get to us, but the crackling sound was cool.

It seems more like more propaganda from the world is 360° kooks.
