My wife and I seen it going across the sky. To the south east of me.It was visable in the sky about 1 minite Checked the time whan I could not see it any more 3:38 pm

Awesome newt. Wouldn't mind watching one take off someday.

Now it will rain tomorrow.

I watched the launch....it was doing almost 17,000 MPH in under 15 minutes!! And the booster was safely landed on a ship in the ocean in 9 minutes !!

That was pretty dang cool to watch. That flowed like a well oiled machine.

I guess I flowed with American pride seeing a manned mission from our soil today.

Rember I'm South Jersey. About 1000 miles ( I guess)as the crow flys from where the rocket was lounched

It was good to see that again. Brought back memories of Dad getting me up to watch some of the launches in the early seventies.

We watched it on TV. Wife worked at NASA in Houston on the shuttle program for 9 years. Brought back a lot of memories for her.

I lived in Florida when the Shuttle went up the first time and watched it from Titusville which was miles across the Indian Rive from the launch pad. Even at that distance the roar of the engines were deafening and the ground shook like an mild earth quake. The was a lot more fire and smoke from the shuttle than the flight today. It was marvelous. I saw 3 of them go up at that location before I moved away. Even after I moved about 75 miles north you could still them once they got up above the horizon... I stood and watched the one that blew up and knew instantly something bad had happened to it.

Garry-

We watched it on tv. Great to see some American pride. Hats off to them. Hope and pray for a perfect docking tomorrow at the space station. Then a happy and safe return in 3 months. Maybe before I die. I hope to go to space. The goal is regular space travel for all

Newt that is awesome.

2 thoughts came to mind with today's launch: USA! USA! USA! and These 2 guys are the luckiest guys to be able to leave the planet right now with all that is going on

I watched it just a bit ago. Glad we’re back!!

Anyone know the $$ breakdown of this endeavor? US dollars in NASA vs. Elon?

It was the fastest man made thing I'v ever seen going across the sky.

I read that the cost was comparable to what the Russians were charging us for a seat +/- $55 Million.

Technology now...wow

From a fox news article..

"NASA has identified the cost of sending astronauts to the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket at $81 million per seat. Before the Space Shuttle program retired, NASA said it cost an average of $450 million each mission to launch the spacecraft.

However, the agency is looking to save money through its Commercial Crew Program. Sending astronauts to the ISS aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon or Boeing CST-100 Starliner is expected to cost just $58 million a seat, according to NASA."

So what was the point of them going for a fly?

I just read we pay 75 million to the Russians every time one of our astronauts ride into orbit on a Russian launch.

Like many things our elected officials spend tons of dough on I have to ask what the goal is?
