Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AmericanPeople: With sunrise around 6:48 AM EDT at the launch site this may be another opportunity to see great plume illumination. People along the southeast coast and possibly into Virginia might be able to observe it. I think I saw a photo taken from the Atlanta airport of a night launch so even some distance inland it could be visible. 'Plumination', think that we created a new word. I'd Love to witness a launch. |

I saw the expanded plume from the second stage and Crew 1 launched after dark last time and flew up the coast. Faint but visible in southern WV in a dark place with an unobstructed view of the eastern sky. |

I have to be shitty to even step foot on an airplane.
I can't imagine what it would take to get me to board a fucking rocketship.

great launch. First time I've ever seen the thrusters on stage 1 keeping it oriented on the way down with my own eyes. Ive got video of it. Is there a way to upload a video on here without going through Youtube?

Atmospheric conditions were perfect for viewing.
Amazing to watch the plumes of the booster's RCS popping off , followed it right down to the horizon. |

I guess that was ice coming off the 1st stage right before the reentry burn? It looked like whatever it was fragmented pretty well when it was hit with a thruster plume. And do the usually have lights on the first stage like that on night launches? I don't recall seeing them before, but I haven't watch very many of them. Awesome to watch as usual!

After months of delays, NASA and Boeing have pushed the launch from April to no earlier than August, citing severe weather and technical problems with the spacecraft's avionics. |
