Yesterday morning a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from the Kennedy Space Center at 6:33 am. Two minutes later we could see it rising from our street in Ocala. The photo shows the upper stage climbing away on the left while the booster return burn can be seen towards the upper right. It was the most spectacular launch we have seen to date. For my video of the launch, see: https://youtu.be/2lERq0Zpu6U?si=jr66Uho99Mu3huXi
