Anyone else see the launch this morning?

Kind of anticlimactic imho


Yeah that was the worst of the 3 as far as viewing goes but super successful for SpaceX. #4 should be 1st half of May!

Chief lady said they were hoping for May but looks like early June to me.

Drove down this morning to watch from Hwy 48. Didn't see anything because of clouds/haze. Certainly heard and felt it though. Talked to a couple of my buddies who were in boats and they said they saw maybe 3 seconds of flames, otherwise nothing. I'll pay more attention to the weather next time I decide to go.

View from my house in Harlingen this morning. Got the loud rumble for about 15 seconds a minute or two after liftoff.

Really great view from Edinburg. Could see the booster coming back down too.

Ha I was a little cold in the wind and shade but in the sun it was great, especially out of the wind.

If you have internet next time put on the nasa space flight YouTube live stream or follow SpaceX on Twitter for updates. At around 230p they announced they bumped the launch to 437p. The NSF guys thought it was for wind.

Thanks, brother, will do.

Not that it wasnt fun to sit and watch a couple idiots run their boats up on the spoil bank on the channel.
