I am in Titusville for the night while traveling for work and just came inside from watching the launch. Once it got up there you could actually hear the thing! Very cool experience- growing up in Florida unfortunately I never got to make the trip over from Tampa during the shuttle program and this is the first launch I’ve seen from this close. Nice end to a workday.

This video does not do it justice, we're all the way down by Okeechobee county, probably at least 60 miles from Cape Kennedy and you could see it clear as a bell. My wife thought she could hear it.

About 15 minutes ago one of the F-104's went screaming across the center. I wonder if Elon bought some ride time from StarFighters to chase this one out of here.
