Man, just saw it from St Petersburg. The most amazing site as it goes over the water - reflection in the water... WOW !!!

The night launches are the best.

My first time to see it launch. I could see the smoke through a range finder for just a minute here in St. Pete Beach.

We could see it orange for just a bit until it turned into a shooting star.

Saw it from Ocala, about 80 miles away. Some low clouds, but then clear sky till it was as faint as the fainter stars. Great Launch!
