I'm in Abaco I saw it

Saw it from sandy point

Saw it from Nassau

Is it bright there for you guys?

Didn't know what it was at the time til the next day but it was still amazing from Nassau.

Love it😂👌

Well said

As John F Kennedy inspired us to do it long ago... may we walk the moon again

lmao! just moved to titusville and saw it from me yard :D

@@royalewithcheese9257 unfortunately i only saw it when the smoke cloud trail was dying down, but it was still cool i got a couple good pics!

It was a normal SpaceX launch. What you saw "Falling" was the booster returning to land on the drone ship. :)

We were walking our dogs, me and my gf were in disbelief, never seen anything leave a trail like that

@@cr8zy865 same! man I hope there better than my shaky video due to my dogs and their leashes. Good for you tho! How much per pic 👀 🤓

All I see is the moon coming up over the White Tanks. Shish!!

It was a normal SpaceX launch. :)

I saw it from my home in Miami last night, it was wild

Just above the rocket and to the right, I seen a little white. Dot on to zoom in looks much clearer. I think that’s what you’re talking about. I did come out of nowhere.

@daveyoung5445 That was the Falcon 9 booster separating and returning to Earth to be used again. Perfectly normal and expected.

Incorrect you missed it . Bottom right of the screen rising to the center of the screen

I have stills also I live 48 miles from the pad . I have watched rockets since Apollo

@jupitermach1831 Incorrect. What you are seeing there is the first stage booster and the payload faring halves returning to earth to be reused. The second stage booster continues on to deliver the payload and then burns up on re-entry. Falcon 9 boosters are not the same as what was used for Apollo.

it was the rocket, i asked chat gpt wirh pictures ans everything😭 im on the highway rn i saw it

Because the actual live stream has ended. No live stream, no live chat.

2 fairings and the booster....

That is because Spacex controls what is shared. As we are not SpaceX, we are not privy to those feeds.

😆

If its the best coverage yet then he's they are doing something right.

Yeeooooooow

I saw live clear

As it says, it launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

@@KalystiaLee my bad I was watching through my phone some title was cut off

@@thatguitarguyguy no problem at all! I understand that all too well! 😂 Many people just flat out ignore the title and description! 😂

Not 100% sure, but my impression is that Boeing was surprised by VTOL rockets catching on. I believe they bid on what became the DC-X project (VTOL from McDonnell Douglas) but their bid was for an HTHL (horizontal takeoff & landing) spaceplane. Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas shortly after the DC-X cancellation so presumably they would have picked up the DC-X team but my impression was that there wasn't a lot of interest in VTOL at Boeing and some of the DC-X team ended up at SpaceX a few years later. The other big thing AFAICS is that SpaceX self-funded most of its early development, while Boeing focused on government contracts. That allowed SpaceX to start much earlier on its ambitious goals, and while it could not spend enough to work at maximum speed it was at least able to work consistently for a decade or more as funds permitted. NASA's launch programs have been really troubled for the last couple of decades, with what seems like too many cancellations, and after each cancellation the bar was lowered again. The final iteration (SLS) seems bizarre to me, with four expensive re-usable SSME engines being tossed into the ocean after each launch. One last thing - I'm not sure how big a factor this is but Boeing and/or the US government/NASA seems to have been pretty committed to staying with LH2 as the first-stage fuel. I believe it does give the highest performance but it also makes engine and rocket design more complicated because of LH2's extremely low temperature. That in turn meant either significant R&D costs for a new first stage engine or staying with the SSME and its associated costs. Both Energomash (Russia) and SpaceX used less efficient fuels but were able to produce less expensive engines with less R&D as a consequence.

By who? Elon Musk? He owns the company. ;)

Um he owns it
