COOL STUFF!!
Hey guys and gals, just wanted to share this with you all. One of the perks of living on the east coast of Florida about 50 miles south of the Kennedy Space Center. When the launch all these starlink rockets they fly SE over my house. I can stand out in the front yard and watch them go up, about 5 seconds after lift off they come up over the trees and when the sky is clear, an awesome sight. Last Thursday night they launched a Falcon Heavy with the orbital space plane on board and what a sight to see!! On these "heavy" rockets they land the 2 booster rockets back here at the space center, and when they land, you can hear the double sonic booms, which you can hear at the video's end. This video was posted on the internet by USLaunch report, and is basically what I see from my front yard 50 miles away. Enjoy, I sure did, twice!!

I’ll bet that is really neat to see in person. Brings back memories of watching Apollo 8 lifting off back in December of ‘69. The family was heading south to Miami for my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. We timed it so we could watch the launch. It was really awesome to see. I bet these big rockets are really impressive.

Ya'll are welcome. It's pretty cool to watch for sure! On a down note on being able to watch all this from my front yard, I watched the shuttle Challenger disaster happen back then, when it exploded on it's way up. Was a total heart breaker to see that happen with my own eyes!! That image will forever be etched in my mind.

I’ve seen the space X satellites from my house in the south western skies a few times. I’m not gonna lie the first time I saw them I thought Oh Shi$ some one is getting ready to bomb the hell out of us, or we are getting ready to totally decimate Russia or someone in that side of the world lol. I did some googling and figured it out pretty quick. The way they all pretty much fly in a straight line over the skyline is pretty neat to see.
