The drama and tension of the first flight of a new spacecraft. 21st century-style, with all the cameras aboard the spacecraft and the boosters. A new generation of fresh-faced youngsters, sharing a moment with us old geezers. For all that we were recently poking fun at Tesla-SpaceX, they were magnificent today. Congratulations!

I was on the porch with my binocs, and the sky was clear, but I didn't see them at all. This launch must have been in a northerly direction, and by the time they were high enough to see they were over the horizon. Best of Luck, dudes.
