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.

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.

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