I'm reading that the Starlink launch is a go, but the SAOCOM launch can't go because of its southern trajectory over the Delta on 37-B.

This on the SpaceX site was posted today so it still looks like two SpaceX launches Sunday. "SpaceX is targeting Sunday, August 30th for two launches – a Starlink mission in the morning and the SAOCOM 1B mission in the evening. Upon completion of the Starlink mission, this page will be updated with information on the SAOCOM 1B mission." Source |

Doubt if the SAOCOM will launch tonight either.
Same weather pattern as yesterday. Thunderstorms and pissing rain started up at 6 and persisted well in to the night. 60% chance of a scrub.

Caught it going up for about 10 seconds. Dogs barking and a few car alarms going off.
Couldn't see the boost back burn but caught it coming down for about 5 seconds. Then the sonic boom ! Did it land ok ? |

Another great one. I never get tired of watching this. Unfortunately SW Fl is overcast and I couldn't see anything.
But I have a question...at about T + 4:00 the first stage is on it's way back down, but what the hell went past in the background? |

Normally I can see these for my backyard. But as others said, I could hear the launch plenty of rocket noise. But the reentry of the boosters was fantastic.

Heard the launch for a good couple minutes here in mlb, saw the booster come back, and the sonic boom shook the windows good.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AmericanPeople: Originally Posted By Whippet06: Fairings. Fairings were easy to see. At least one. I saw two or more fluttering things. Fairings sound logical. But I think the stage 2 fairings were released after this. So my next question would be...when stage 1 detaches, are there other pieces that are released also? As stage 1 was coming down, I saw something doing cartwheels on the right side of the screen for a good 15-20 seconds or more. |
