I was lucky to see 2 of them. Scared the 💩 out of me the 1sT time. I was out on a run. I think I started a thread on in a couple years ago. 🤷
There was one 5 or 6 years ago, same feeling. I thought to myself, this is it, nukes are inbound or outbound. There was a line of cars pulled over on the shoulder of 15 N just N of Vista, me being one of them, staring in awe wondering what the HELL we were seeing in the sky. It was a trip. One of the weirdest feelings of my life not being able to comprehend what my eyes were seeing.

Is it normal for no video activity 15 minutes prior to launch?

Maybe this explains why I kept losing service for over 2 to 3 hours at about 5 to 6 last night. I was on the phone and it kept dropping out. I never had such bad service from Starlink. It does cut out from time to time, but it seems to be getting better And more reliable. It’s been a big game changer for where I live. Buddy that spends a lot of time at our little lake down the road got it for his motorhome. Now we have service at the lake. Let’s just say he makes lots of friends up there at the campground. He had a lot of people over 20 4th of July weekend, and it still work great.

So what's the deal? Did it get rescheduled?

I love watching these things take off, the show just after sunset is spectacular!

This is good because I completely forgot about it yesterday. Not sure about seeing it from Kingman though…last time I did I happened to be on the 40 around Oatman Rd. exit.
