Default Anyone see the SpaceX launch early morn?
I woke up really early and decided to listen to radio news. They mentioned the upcoming launch, think it was about 5:30am. Just after takeoff I looked out east...OMG! the flare and view-even from our distance away- was spectacular. The very slight cloud cover out east made the rocket's flames glow with a super long trail up and to the north.

If you ever have a chance to see a night or early morn launch - do it. This one was a space station resupply mission.
