I really hope that before the Polaris Dawn mission NSF will put some camera resources in position for the broadside view of the launch arc (this assumes it takes the same coast hugging trajectory as crew mission to the ISS). I saw the last Dragon Crew launch to ISS from central Florida (20 minutes north of Orlando) at night with a barely quarter moon, and saw: (1) when not foreshortened by the viewing position, the length of the rocket plume was HUGE! _Many_ times longer than the rocket! ; (2) stage separation was almost dead on broadside ; (3) the interacting plumes of the 2nd stage and booster were incredible from the side (but couldn't all fit in view on 10x25 binocs w/114m view @1000m, so I took some of it in with my mark 1 eyeballs); (4) in the weak moonlight I could see the booster glinting on its arc back to launch site and so got to watch the boost back burn from the beginning, again at nearly perfect broadside; (5) the 2nd stage plume nebula was not broadside rather soon after separation, but I could still see it long after the booster landed. If I had the equipment, data link, and schedule, I might offer to feed NSF for it...
I really like this video the best part was the minute and 37 seconds no one was TALKING!
I've seen this launch live ❤. It's awesome to see the Falcon roar to the skies.
Somos de Perú y justo estábamos pasando x la zona y pudimos ver el lanzamiento...una locura 🎉
One of the most beautiful launcghes - Many thanks- yet again !

Nobody can say Falcon 9s are not reliable, what a beautiful landing, Space X workers are the best,, thanks for the videos and updates. 🏴🇺🇲👍🌝🚀
Yeah, like they know what an England flag is 😂 Oh, haha.. I used to live on Brunton St. in Glasgow 😁
Congratulations 👏🎉❤😊
That rocket tail looks just like an EV thermal runaway fire
1:01:25 the way the tone of the rumbling drops. Is that the doppler effect?
Most definitely! 💨 👂
What was that at the 1:07:00 mark? It zoomed by the booster??
1:00:40 - you're welcome
Oh what shame they didn’t get past the firmmit that’s why we’ve had weather warnings all week and seen no floods because they can’t get past it
👏 ❤😊
