It was a magnificent launch. After sitting in the Sun for six hours and several delays it went off perfectly. Big Flame! Similar to the Shuttle. And the boosters came home! That was truly amazing.

We heard that the boosters had separated and we waited straining to see them. Then it happened, two fires high in the sky. Then I lost them until the fires appeared down low to the horizon. They dropped below a line of trees. Then Boom Boom, two sonic booms and huge engine sound hit several seconds after they were down.

I want to see this thing go at night!

Elon Musk is the Man!
