Another Day, Another Launch & Landing
A two-stage Falcon 9 rocket launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Oct. 30.
Ho Hum, eh. I think it is cool. Quote:

I have not missed a single launch. I have the SpaceX app and it keeps me posted on the launch times and social media posts by them so I am always a couple clicks away from watching the whole launch and landing.
It still amazes me that they can launch a rocket and in ~7 minutes have the delivery vehicle back on a landing pad and on its way to get cleaned up for the next launch. |

Most impressive.
That's what the Shuttle was SUPPOSED to do... It'll be interesting to see how or if it changes when they start doing things with a manned crew aboard. |

I saw The Space Shuttle and a Saturn Five rocket take off in a 2 day span. The Saturn rocket took off at midnight and I watched it from a pool bar in Coco Beach. Both launches were awesome. As a kid I launched many Estes rockets. The ones from NASA were the real deal. |

While playing golf yesterday we saw the oddest contrail we've ever seen. We all thought it came from the launch. Apparently it did.
