Spectacular Launch This Morning.
SpaceX launched a Rideshare mission this morning with 114 satellites aboard. It went right down the east coast of Florida and the booster flew back to land at the Cape. The weather was perfect, and the views from that booster were unforgettable. You MUST see this.
They'll post a replay soon here: https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=transporter-6
Or watch it on any of several Youtube channels under "transporter 6"

Well crap! I missed it. One of my work perks is a office that has a direct and unobstructed view of KSC. I was in the office with my window shades open and just didn’t see this one.

It is amazing what private industry can do when you get government out of the way. The recovery and turn around of the first stage is pure American magic.

Very cool launch....but the recovery of the launch vehicle was even better.
No matter what you think about Elon Musk and Twitter and all the rest..........neuralink and tunnel boring........Musk has already revolutionized space access and communication with SpaceX..............and he is making a boat load of money by launching satellites for other entities.
Elon Musk has accomplished in a few short years........things that the govt. behemoth called NASA could not have dreamed of. He is dragging NASA along with him.

It was also the 15th flight for that booster, their 200th flight, and 160th booster landing.
Orbital-class booster landing score: SpaceX 160 -- rest of the world 0

Like I said..............Musk has revolutionized space travel and communications......as well as a few other things.
Revolutionary or anti-christ?
He was probably watching the whole thing while micro-dosing on MDMA......psilocybins.......and LSD.
If you old farts don't know what micro-dosing is.............Google it. Doing low dose hallucinagens makes you a genius.
