So, this happened this morning:

@bender@twtxt.net Uuuhhhhhh, this looks incredibly nice! Did you hear anything or was it just a visual thing?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org not a peep, just the visual. The little, almost white, dot and the bottom of the “drop” moved very slowly.

wow! 🤯

Here is a different view.

@bender@twtxt.net I see. Other shot is also quite colorful.

@bender@twtxt.net Must be crazy living this close to the rockets. 🤯 Have you ever heard anything (not just this one)? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh yeah, we have heard plenty. The re-entry boom of the shuttles (when they were in service) and, more recently, of the SpaceX rockets boosters. Depending on weather conditions we might hear a lot, or nothing at all.

I will try capturing a “regular” launch as I see it from home one of these days. It is a curved white, blueish line in the sky, with a big, incandescent tip (the actual rocket burners, and boosters). Pretty cool sight.
