Pretty cool to watch the live stream and see it in the sky at the same time.

I guess I was watching last night's feed, where they said abort at 5 seconds?

That was pretty badass. Crazy how fast they already landed the rocket on the ship. The number of calculations to get that done is insane. If only they could figure out how long a Tesla can go on a full charge.

Bullhead City

Boulder City, looks like I got a bat in the picture as well lol.

 

[Lunatic Fringe]

One of my asshole neighbors woke me up with a crappy text pic from his backyard of the launch.
Now I'm awake.


Some of you may recognize the location.

How does ATC route planes when they’re shooting these things off?

Agreed.
My wife was about to go to bed (working today) and I went up with the live feed going.
We went out on the balcony that faces due West, got a great view of it.

Funny, RDP is ALWAYS on point for current events.
I had no idea about the launch, and must have missed this thread. I was outside helping my in-law fill the airbags in his RV. Happened to look up and notice the rocket and said "must be a rocket". In-law said "you sure?"....pulled out my phone, went to RDP saw this starlink thread, clicked on it......said "yep".
