Watched the rocket launch tonight

While driving into work tonight I happened to catch the rocket blazing thru the sky from the launch at The Cape. What a beautiful sight it is in the night sky. No clouds to block the view and it looked like a big Roman candle . I was just north of Clermont Fl. On 27 so the Cape was probably a good 50 miles east of me but that rocket looked marvelous in the night sky.

totally slipped my mind I am amazed at the sheer size and power and to be able to land the ejected stages is just amazing
even being your average DA😁 I am impressed with how fast and far we have come since the wright brothers basically had a kite with a motor on it . among other innovations too many to even fathom
I have had mixed feelings about what a having a extremely long life would be like as to what may come from all this has to be just amazing even now its like now were living in the sic fi shows of the 50's
sadly the flip side do I really want to see what our country may become
Check out this spectacular short video from RocketLab - it's stage separation on their most recent flight.

Years ago we went down to St. Augustine to visit Dad when he lived there. As we were saying our goodbyes I looked up and saw one of the space shuttles take off. That was pretty cool and early in the shuttle program.

That was about a battery jump start booster. ?
Apologies. I must have pulled a Biden. This ought to be the right one...

Too see what it becomes, or to laugh at the dumb arsses that voted the people into office?
