That's not the Space X launch, that's Steemit headed to the Moon!

I live near Cape Canaveral so we get to see some of Musk's shots too.

That was some sensational video. Like @acidyo said, I thought it was a whale being shot into the sky.

Thought you put up some trick video @etherpunk.

Thanks for sharing that beautiful display. Ole Elon is really doing some incredible stuff.

I'm rather curious about the reasons why the rocket created this shape in the sky.

What difference in the fuel/physics/material or even speed might have created this shape?

My son explained it. The narrow plume was the first stage rocket. Space x has a recoverable 1st stage rocket piece that navigates its way to chosen splash down location, hence the spiral light and shiny inner object. The balloon plume is because the second stage rocket is designed for outside Earth's atmosphere. Whew, so lucky to have my inhouse expert!

Ps he is adding: the smoke rings were from cold gas maneuvering thrusters.

The launch happened right after sunset, but the rocket has to go up many kilometers. So when we were seeing this, the rocket was in sunlight but the ground was in the dark. This meant that the sun was illuminating the giant gas cloud of exhaust coming out of the back of the rocket.

It was incredible seeing it. I had forgot about this launch and was driving west from east San Diego. Turned a corner and saw this incredibly strange glowing line in the sky. It took me a bit to realize what it was, then I got to watch the landing!

Chemtrails.

Cool footage @kevinwong!

This reminds of this footage from 2013 that closed the Xiaoshan Airport in China.

It closed the airport. So nobody knew what it was? amazing!

Take some control over yourself and don't censor my posts. Taking away the reward is one thing, now you're messing with users that are having conversation about serious issues and you're not even leaving a comment to explain why you flagged.

Do you still assume some people aren't aware @Zer0Hedge is not Zerohedge.com ?

ZeroHedge takes the best of the news, I take the best of ZeroHedge.com and format it for Steemit. I also read and upvote every good comments.

I was watching it yesterday at the news. I figured by the video that this was some kind of a failure. You can see the explosions taking place at the tail.
really awesome stuff.

My good friend sent this to me right earlier today. :) It must be really beautiful irl.

That's just too cool! If the context wasn't framed for me, I'd swear it was some special effect in a sci-fi movie!

On the other hand...I look forward to the day when seeing scenes like this are just the norm, like we currently view an airplane flying overhead.

Lol that'll be fantastic indeed :)

Hehe, from this perspective it looks like a tiny whale getting bigger. :D

Haha tadpole into whale.. oh wait!

That is what I thought it was at first. I was thinking is this a trick video?

It looked like a whale being shot into the sky.

One year snap shot of your statistics on steemit on a live demo rocket launch ;D

elon musk nailed that one in the tweet hahah but definitely it was interesting to check out :D
I wish you a very Merry Christmas :D

that's so beautiful man!! I remember years ago my brother saw something like this and he was describing it for me, thanks for capturing this moment, I could imagine it and well I just saw it now :)))
