Best place to watch a Blue Origin New Shepard launch from? All I see is pulling off the side of state highway 54. Any other options?

Cool reflections off the Indian River from tonight’s SpaceX launch. Easy to tell it’s the holidays as Rotary Park was a full house. Normally a Monday 12:30am launch would be about six of us.

Two launches scheduled for Friday night less than an hour apart. 🤔 For that to happen today’s launch needs to fly. We’ll see.

Liftoff of GPS lll-10 from SLC-40 on a SpaceX Falcon 9. We probably got to see 40 seconds of the launch which was 30 more than I anticipated due to the clouds.

It’s damp and overcast so if SpaceX does launch I don’t think we’ll see much of it.

Windy night on the Space Coast that might have contributed to the SpaceX scrub.

True but poor judgement can lead to some great stories and a lot of fun! 😂

I think this is a SpaceX jet that just landed at KTIX. We get a lot of corporate jets here but as far as I know they are the only one that lands a 737 here.

Twelve humans have walked here and only Buzz, Dave, Charlie and Harrison are still with us.

The Zero G jet just flew over me leaving KSC. Nice wake up call.

SpaceX launching Starlink 12-5 on a very crisp night!

Perfect evening for a midnight 🚀 launch. Clear crisp air and no wind.
