I have seen a few of the SpaceX launches from our villa in Hemingway. Today’s launch was by far the most impressive and longest lasting viewing I’ve seen. It was visible 3-5 minutes compared to .5 -.8 min. Trail was visible up to 30 minutes.

That was the most awesome launch I've seen in the 5 years we've been here. I walked across the street to Southern Star and had a great view.
