This is another view of the early Wed Axiom Space Ax-4 crewed launch by SpaceX, seen from MLB. For every launch, numerous resources are deployed to keep the crew safe, and this fully stocked helicopter was on station for crucial (and happily, not needed) support. Big thanks

Bonus: The entry burn of the brand-new first stage booster can be seen far out over the Atlantic, and keen-eyed observers will see at least 3 guest appearances by satellites from a competing constellation (hi, Starlink)

Liftoff!! What a show from the Vulcan rocket as United Launch Alliance launched the USSF-106 classified payload at 8:56pm (ET) Tuesday night. This is the view until main engine cutoff, seen from Palm Shores (28-miles south of the pad).

🎯 hit it 30x — At 4:12am (ET) Thursday, SpaceX sent a batch of Starlink satellites to orbit atop a Falcon 9 booster making its 30th (!!) trip to space. The booster was (again) recovered, to be flown again. This was the view from Merritt Island looking over the Banana River.
