RE: SpaceX's Falcon Heavy completes final test before anticipated launch in February

in #space7 years ago

I can't wait for this launch! Did you see any of the spectator videos from farther away? I think they gave the viewer a better appreciation for how much power and thrust is being exhausted here.

If the launch is successful, the 3 boosters returning to landing pads are going to make for some awesome photos. Exciting times indeed!

I think you're absolutely right about the distance. I also saw the video some guy caught on camera from outside the launch complex. It would have looked like something catching a large fire, but then again the smoke comes up so quickly that you understand that there are greater forces at hand :)

Haha yeah, that's what I am talking about! Awesome footage :)
