I'm pretty much speechless.

As someone that clearly remembers the July 16, 1969 moon landing, even though I wasn't even 4 years old at the time, today's successful launch is an amazing reminder of what we humans (and Americans!) can do when we all work together.

Hopefully, this launch is just the beginning of human space exploration, something I've been looking towards my entire life.

Right on brother. This is a great day!

Amazing live video guys

They have a robot (affectionately referred to by fans as the "roomba") that comes out of a garage and attaches it to the bottom of the rocket. It's super heavy and is sufficient to stabilize it for the ride home.

On my phone, but google SpaceX roomba for pics.

That was fun to watch.

On some level, I always find it neat that despite the tensions going on down here were able to maintain the ISS w/ a significant Russian presence.

I was laughing with my daughter at the water tower leaning towards the rocket launch. Anybody else notice that?

You mean your half hog half human daughter? :)

The app Heavens Above is a great tool for this. Has DM2 8 minutes off of ISS for two passes this evening. Can be found under "Crew Dragon" when searching.

I’m proud to have caught this live on Discovery channel, it looked amazingly smooth, almost like it was was hardly moving at all

And the shots from inside the capsule after they broke through the atmosphere, monitoring their touchscreen was just icing on the cake... America is still exceptional

There’s nothing wrong with us, that can’t be fixed with what’s right with us

Just watched them both fly over! Friggin Awesome!!! North Central Kansas. North West to South East. Roughly 8 to 10 degrees apart. Perfectly clear night!

Thanks for the heads up fellas!!! :toast:

DeFace in particular.

If they still happen to be visible in another 1 hour and a half, you need to check it out!

For me, it looks like it will be more West - South West to South East in about another hour and 15 minutes.

ISS likely will be, but it'll be dimmer. So will Dragon, which means it might be harder to spot.

Completely socked in clouds for me tonight. Bummer.

It wasn't hard to spot. It is a bit dimmer, but very easy to see. Roughly 5 to 10 degrees behind. We, my wife and I, are going back out in to see the next pass.

Even if it is dimmer. We are going to look for it.

Too bad on the clouds for you. It was very cool!

Very cool. Sorry, a lot of work at the lake with new divers.
