A SpaceX Falcon9 rocket finally got off the ground tonight out of Vandenberg after several delays and scrubs. We were hoping for one of those fantastic, just-after-sunset “jellyfish” displays where it’s dark where you are but the rocket plume high above the ground is still brightly it.
What I would really like would be an old-style video camera where I can put my eye on a viewfinder and see what I’m filming. The other option these days, which sounds really neat but I have no idea how to do it, is to get a camera with an ouput and hook it up to a VR headset. Something to play with, maybe, some day.
Enjoy the launch!
