That was cool, literally stepped outside immediately after reading your post and the first stage was just finishing. Amazing what humans are capable of.

Edit: this photo is well into what i assume is the 2nd stage.

Just saw the launch trajectory, literally went right down the entire west coast past Cabo. Perfect views for anyone along the seaboard out of the fog

We saw it from PHX, but not as impressive as it looks from the coast

Great shot, must have been great to see in person 👍
The phone makes it look slightly more spectacular than it was in person TBH. Wasnt as bright in person, but really a sight to see and consider the amount of pressure/thrust/heat that thing is experiencing. Still cannot believe we put a man on the moon in the 60’s using slide rules…..

Always fun to watch the launches. Last time in Phoenix saw it there.

That's the one I saw from my back yard in Vegas, it was awesome. However, had family in town week or so after the 4th and I was hyping up the launch at that time, scrubbed the first night so even more hyped on the second and we barely saw it, tiny spec appeared about 2 min after take off, still hearing about that one from the visitors, haha

I didn't see shit for the rocket or launch, but later at night, I saw a perfect line of dots with different spacing eerily travel over Brea like a string of morse code. I figured it was starlink deployment that were still gaining in altitude. I am guessing relating to this launch?
