No clouds in sight today. Godspeed Doug and Bob.

I work at SpaceX and have been on-console for several launches (my mission was the last Falcon Heavy). I was super nervous during the countdown. Right after ignition I had this sudden realization "holy ****, there's people on the rocket."

Very cool, rader. I have my grandkids with me today. We watched and they cheered when the rocket lifted up. My granddaughter's eyes were as big as grandma's biscuits - lol. I was looking at those touch screens and the big-a$$ed gloves Doug and Bob had on...

We got in an Amazon order last night - one of those large boxes. It became their module. With bowls on their heads and gardening gloves on their hands, (plus a lot of imagination on their part) they went up into space. You can tell Bob and Doug they beat them to the space station - lol.

The warspite family headed out into the garden last night just after 10pm. We worked out where west was and then waited, having absolutely no idea what we were really expecting to see and how to identify it.

The sky was cloudless and we could see a bright light and wondered if that could be it. But soon realised it wasn't moving and we then saw two or three similar things so guessed they were just stars. Then, after about 10 mins we saw what was unmistakably what we were looking for. A tiny white object moving incredibly fast low in the sky - until it disappeared into some cloud.

Not much to see really, but very impressive in its own way and we are glad we saw it.
