I am in Central Florida and saw it from ny brother’s front yard. Successful launch so far.
Watched the launch from the pushpit of our 36ft sailboat on a mooring ball in St. Augustine. Perfect launch.
Too bad it was a GeoSync orbit launch. It would have been even better had it been going up the coast.
I was wondering how many of these we need?
