There's are 5% chance she relay's any info to my father, hopefully he pays attention and tracks the boosters as they go up and come back.

I was outside all afternoon and forgot about the launch time.
Caught it from home but didn't record it.

Spectacular in every aspect though.

Posting for her low resolution video for reference.... here is the full video, My Mom sent it to me via Facebook messenger, low resolution. You could see it better via the naked eye according to her. I've personally never viewed a launch from there. But many other places. Seeing the dual landing would be my priority.

I need to really start digging into the best Startship viewing areas.

She did well.  That double double sonic boom was great.

I am not sure whose photo this is.



SpaceX or Jenny Hautmann@JennyHPhoto.    The Falcon Heavy boosters perform boostback burn after separation, making their way to the Landing Zones.

I think you need Press credentials to view launches/landings from the lighthouse.

They'll have badged volunteers escorting them if outside of the press areas.

Yeah I got invited to go out there once but after looking at the paperwork I decided it wasn't worth the anal probing to look at the lighthouse on a non launch day.

The booster on the right appears to be near the edge of the concrete pad.  I wonder if that it where it landed or was it moved?

Update:  I looked at another aerial photo taken at 8:26 after launch and it landed near the center of the pad.

I didn't catch it at first, but watching this vid again, I think it did land in that spot.

Consider looking at the GPS launch tomorrow morning.
