watched Falcon Heavy mission

Watched the SpaceX launch. This is the second flight of the Falcon Heavy, the first with paid cargo.

Falcon Heavy rocket seconds after launch. Must be something with 5 million pounds of thrust.

Rocket rolling. Down the pipe.

Just before booster engine cutoff. Ground view and views from each of the three boosters.

Booster separation. The two side boosters peeling away. Central core running.

Boosters have flipped for return to Florida. Central core running. Ground view.

Second stage separated, ready for start-up.

Second stage vacuum motor starting. Cone glowing with the heat.

All three boosters are preparing for landing.

Side boosters burning. Grid fins on central booster extending.

Central booster decelerating.

Side boosters landing at the Cape. Such an amazing sight.

Just before loss of signal. Rocket glare lighting up the deck of Of Course I Still Love You.

Look at that. The dust cleared. Three for three! Outstanding.

A good orbit after the final burn.

Satellite deployed.

An amazing mission. Congrats to SpaceX.
