Didn’t get to drive over so had to watch from my home a hundred miles away, just lost sight a minute ago with my naked eye. Good launch!

Awesome looking launch on a perfectly clear night from 40 miles north of the Cape. That sucker was moving! Just got the sound a minute or two ago.

Now it’s time for the Dragon to catch up to the ISS and do the work necessary to dock with it.

Yep...I had just gotten up to view the launch as my wife went to bed. Long story short, she’d just came home from the hospital with our youngest son. He needed stitches in his forehead from a fall. He’s okay. I can go back to bed now.

Just got back on the internet....congratulations on #3 Space-X.
To: JRandomFreeper
Well, if you narrow the definition to just “putting government and commercial satellites in orbit,” what you write is true. And understandably so, since that is where the revenue stream is currently pointed.
My vision of the “commercialization of space” is quite a bit broader and envisions orbiting resorts and long-term residences, medical facilities, commercial manufacturing plants, on-orbit services (including the removal of space junk), tranfer depots for passengers and cargoes bound for the Moon and beyond, exchanges with increasngly self-sufficient settlements on the Moon and Mars, etc.
All that is going to take awhile.
