I'm on the west coast but it's clear here so if it does launch, I should be able to see it. Heading outside in about 5 minutes.

Say what you will, but Musk is a fucking stud and I am glad he is doing what he does. Especially for America.

Good job, Dragon and crew! You've done well!!!

I’m 170 miles from the cape in N FL and could see it from my yard clearly! The booster separation was spectacular!

This video explains why I thought the booster blew up.
Also has the double sonic boom in the audio. Freaky part starts at 2:15 SpaceX CRS-20 Falcon 9 Rocket Launch and Landing in 4k UHD |

I was just thinking, when I die I sure don't want the image from 2:30 on coming for me, and it gets even scarier as it get closer.
I guess that's when you know you're screwed. Pleasant Dreams! (reminded me of a very scary movie scene) |

SpaceX just expanded the envelope of rocket recovery with 50th booster landing
"CEO Elon Musk says SpaceX has successfully expanded the envelope of orbital-class rocket recovery with its 50th booster landing, meaning that all Falcon boosters will have a better chance of safely returning to Earth from now on. According to Musk, this particular landing was unique because it proved Falcon boosters can be successfully recovered – with a bulls-eye landing, no less – even when winds are high around the landing zone (or drone ship). SpaceX intentionally took this risk in part to expand Falcon 9’s safe envelope of operations, which now includes both winds during liftoffs and winds during landings." Where is the stage 1 downward facing video from the Starlink 4 launch from separation to water impact? |
