One minute to go go go!
Liftoff! All is looking good so far!
Hit Mach 1 and Max Q!
Still cool to watch.
Fairing jettisoned!
Looked like a perfect launch.
Stage sep good! 2nd stage ignition!
That was a great launch. Thanks for posting the thread.
I saw and heard the first Saturn V launch.
I was 120 miles away.
Impressive.
I’m glad to hear you and all the others enjoyed it.
The next launch is for an Ariane 5 on 27MAY2015/5:16 p.m. EDT.
SpaceX is going to launch their next Falcon 9 to the ISS for CRS-7.
