SpaceX Transporter-3 Mission - Falcon 9 Rocket Launch from Pad 40 & Landing at LZ-1 on 1/13/22

While I am not a professional videographer, I love a good launch and landing, so I did my best to capture what it’s like to be just a few miles from this amazing feat! Since this mission flew south, it went right over me, which made the sound of launch last for quite a few minutes longer than normal, so there is a bit of time where I’m not focusing on anything in particular, just recording the lasting sound. When the first stage of the rocket starts returning, be ready for the double sonic booms that you hear right at the same time as the rocket lands. I had my elbows resting on my knees to steady my camera for the booms and still jumped a mile, which is just part of the fun! Add seeing a rocket launch in person to your bucket list!

Thank you! I was hoping to find a home video! Nice job!

[@travelwithkristy42]

Thank you! I like for a casual video like this to relay to folks who can’t be there in person to know what it’s like - nothing fancy!

Never gets old

Yeah amazing

Next time lock your focus on infinite and there will be no refocussing blur...
Good capturing

Thank you! I’ll try that!

Great video! Where exactly were you? Looks like a boat ramp?

[@thedon6636]

I’m looking at places and I’m pretty sure this is Jetty Park

[@travelwithkristy42]

Yes, it’s a boat ramp area right before you enter Jetty Park that I just happened to pull into - hadn’t been to this exact place for a launch before.

Where were you standing?

[@travelwithkristy42]

It’s a boat ramp area on the left, just before you get to Jetty Park.

Clueless photography. Sorry.
