So, to the young people fighting in this movement for change, here is my charge: march in the streets, protest, run for school committee or city council or the state legislature. And win. - Ed Markey

Impressive crew... 8)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Loved it! Especially loved that it took human ingenuity to fix the range issue in the last 10 minutes. Bright spot in an otherwise scary year.

I took my son down to Mims to watch it in person.  I grew up down there during the shuttle program and wanted him to experience a launch with SRBs.  It did not disappoint!

Saw it from our house in town.  Some midlevel clouds blocked it after a bit but got off some telephoto shots that when enlarged showed the rocket with flames trailing.  Camera's today can see what the naked eye can't so a great aid.

Most packed launch at the beach in recent memory at Jax Bch. Liek Jaxlongtimer said, mid-level clouds obstructed the view briefly but it was still awesome. Having the launch at 6:30p helped spike interest in the launch although the timing isn't for prime time viewing moreso launch conditions.

That was awesome.  Saw it from my street and was vibrating with excitement the rest of the night.
