Ive seen launches from hundreds of miles away. How was it being so close to Kennedy?

[CFrance]

Saw the last shuttle from a dock in Bradenton, and a rocket from our hotel balcony in Cocoa Beach, and this one on TV. Hope to see more rockets from Cocoa. Awesome.

Never seen nothing like it - rising up over the horizon, separation of the main rocket boosters - WOW!

Great ................ loved seeing our superb US technology once again sailing into space. :pepper2:

I know there are many who don't want to spend the money on this type of technology, but if we don't we will have the Chinese on the moon and looking down at us .......................

Congrats to all the technical wizards at NASA. So very good to see them back in the spot light of advancement.

The side benefits of programs like this go far beyond just the intended mission.

So right! Much of the medical technology in use today is a direct result of developments for the space program. Physiological telemetry is just one example.

We could see the smoke plume from our lanai in Lake Deaton.

We saw the cloud trail that formed after the launch and took a few photos of it. Even the cloud trail was fascinating.

Watched it from our back yard. So happy there are launches again!

[MikeV]

Saw it. Loved it.

It is sad that in our 24/7 news coverage that such a momentus achievement was not played up more by the media. WESH and I assume the others did a good job of live coverage. But I was disappointed during the newsday it was relegated to like other news.

I watched every televised US launch and recovery including todays. Thank goodness for DVRs.......anyway I think it was the top story of the day even if it isn't racist or sexist or bleeding or campaigning.

Watched it from our lanai.

I thought it was incredible to watch the descent and splashdown as it occurred from the drone and the camera in the capsule. Watched the drogue chutes deploy, then detach and the main chutes come out and partially fill. Then they fully deployed and slowed the craft to the ocean. And to see the actual splash from the capsule camera as it hit was neat.

Watched it from our yard in Village of Dunedin this morning.

[Villager Dude]

Missed It.

Wife and I went out and did not see it from Amelia. Was looking towards the East but did not see it.

Did go see a Shuttle Launch at the Cape and it was incredible when it flew over my head downrange from the launch pad .

[jblum315]

It is wonderful to see. I won't forget my first live launch standing in my own back yard here in Hadley surrounded by neighbors.

Amazing. Awe inspiring. Astonishing. Breathtaking.

I hope that you will always continue loving to live here. Welcome home.

AND Merry Christmastime.
