I was driving tonight and I just happen to look up and actually seen this in the sky way in North Carolina..one of the more cooler things I’ve ever seen

Never gets old

Thank you NSF for another great coverage of a starlink launch!!

Clean launch, and great footage - nice one lads

The fact the falcon 9 grounded for a short time and went back to launch cadence in such a short time is a testament to the falcon 9 engineers and spacex
-
Loving these night time launches! Watched it after the event - thanks for the coverage!

I hope they solve that transistor issue quick so Europa Clipper can launch this window and not wait for a year or more.

Love you guys ❤

Nice!! Ahh, didn't know this one was flying up the east coast, (The trajectory has been SE for a while now) I would have tried to check it out just outside Philly. I've seen Falcon 9 a few times pass by about 7-8 minutes after launch in the past. Maybe next launch(?), this never gets old!

In your opening and closing montages you have New Shepherd. Given this, why don't you also show Thunderbird 3 launching from Tracy Island?

That's right , Bon Voyage!
