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