I saw a Saturn V liftoff once from St. Augustine. Daytime launch, and I remember only being able to see the orange flame, not the rocket itself.
Saw another from Cocoa Beach. They let us step outside from school to watch it. Miles away from the cape, and it was still LOUD.

Mine was a late evening launch, near sunset. I just expected to see a bright light going up from the Southeast.
What I saw was a SUNRISE AT NIGHT! The whole sky lit up!..................

My little brother is on a internship at NASA in FL. He was excited how this is the second most powerful rocket ever. So we've been teasing him about how it's actually three of the tenth-most-powerful rockets just duct-taped together.

Good launch, all three cores landed successfully, and the second stage is in a good preliminary orbit.

Successful deployment and orbit for the payload.

Walked over to the beach at the Lori Wilson Cocoa beach hammock and watched it. Nice. The boosters landed and were very clear with binoculars. 4 or 5 sonic booms were delayed. Not sure from what. Beautiful evening.

The Saturn V, at the moment is still the most powerful rocket ever launched.
Falcon Heavy comes in behind it.
I just watched the replay. What an amazing accomplishment by Elon
Musk and SpaceX. Landing all 3 boosters and a successful satellite
deployment. All I can say is wow.

...
Also the fairings were recovered and will be used for the Starlink mission next month. That will be another first.

Is a fairing the nose of the rocket?

Yes, it is. The fairing encloses the payload.
