Got up early in Raleigh, NC to see the Crew2 Spacex. We knew it was going to be close to sunrise, so we thought it might pack a little more oomph with the sun still down yet shining on the exhaust plume of the rocket, and it did. We even got to see the booster firing its thrusters. Eventually, this kind of thing might end up being like watching a jet fly overhead, but for now, it's fun for us. This had to be a hoot to see at the beach. It would be a lot bigger and almost directly overhead. At a south-facing beach, it would've looked like it was coming up out of the ocean. This is just the part of the launch we could actually see.
