I missed the re-entry of the rocket boosters but now hav the location of the landing area from my house. The sonic booms were the bomb.

You lucky guy. I watched the launch live, what a great new era in history.

My father was an astrophysicist and I grew up around the space program with JPL. I've visited Florida twice in the past few years and managed to get out to Cape Canaveral as well as Sebing Raceway for my car urge. What a treat!. You live in a beautiful and exciting area.

Watching the boosters coming back down are incredible. I’ll definitely do better next launch in June.
 Night launches 🚀 are awesome. And can see them From my living room. Launch site is maybe 15 miles away.

I was referring to rocket power in general. So old fashioned.

 Yes, But I’m old fashioned.
Night launch view from patio. Watching the shuttle landing on top of a 747 flying base leg at 500’Agl
Was amazing.
