SpaceX launched 22 Starlink satellites late in the evening of 08-16-2023. Here’s a quick video of the launch.
Also, this is the first time I have used my own music as a video background track. Be gentle in your judgment I mess around for fun and have no illusions of any talent.
In the early hours of Friday, August 11, 2023, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 carrying the Starlink 6-9 mission. Here’s a unique video view of the night-time launch.
After a couple of short delays, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 last night from Cape Canaveral, Florida, lofting Starlink 6-8 — twenty-two second-generation Starlink satellites to orbit. The launch was picture-perfect, with the rocket clearly visible for several minutes after liftoff and even well past staging. Thunderstorms well off to the north and east-southeast added to the light show, with dozens of lightning strokes clearly visible but far away enough not to violate any range safety rules.
Some sights and sounds of the tourist’s view of a rocket launch here on the Space Coast. While we were dripping sweat by the end, I think a good time was had by all.

At 11:47 EDT on June 5, 2023, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 carrying Cargo Dragon to the International Space Station on the CRS-28 mission. It was a breezy, warm Florida day, with a lot of haze between us and the launch site.
Falcon 9 rocket lifted of at 5:37:09 p.m. EDT (2137:09 UTC) on May 21, 2023 when Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center was aligned correctly beneath the orbital path of the International Space Station.

Rather than just capturing yet another streak shot of a night launch, I recorded video of it from the Bennett Causeway off of FL-528 in Cape Canaveral. Turns out video is hard and I have a lot to learn. That’s okay, it’s fun to learn and improve.
