Most stable capture of one of these launches I've seen. Very Excellent, indeed!!

[@CATDRL2]

Of all the ground-based videos I've reviewed for the NASA SpaceFlight Forum, this is the best. Appreciate your skills and camera gear. Best,, Tony.

[@kenpalmer1965]

Great job in filming this launch!

[@lektwik]

Best capture from the ground I've seen. Great Job! 🙂

Saw it from my kitchen window from North San Diego county. It was really funny: My wife said: "I just got a text that SpaceX is launching!" I said: "Oh look, there it goes." Went outside to see it better, and I even saw the retro burn from it dropping the first stage.

Excellent! Congrats for the result of your vid! Cheers!

[@timothygibbons6548]

Did we see attitude control thrusters on the fairings? That's awesome!

[@mjproebstle]

Yes, we did

[@nedretrop2173]

Excellent video!

[@avilabetty26]

You can always tell when MaxQ starts

[@randywoods67]

Great camera work! And thanks for pulling back occasionally to show the contrail, which it so beautiful and complex in it's own way. It really gives you a better sense of just how fast that damned thing is going!

[@WatUpBrahh]

Sick 👌👌

[@silverbsx]

Nice one! Where was this taken from?

[@patjev2740]

Best launch video on the net right now!! Perfect conditions helped too!?

[@ruiner101]

So dope!

[@hazelnut11022]

Amazing tracking and details!!❤

[@richardstamp5068]

In Hemet, cars were pulling off the road and people were staring at the sky because it was such an amazing sight.

[@jeffpoplin558]

Great capture. Very well done! Thanks.

[@AKUSUXs]

This is one of the 1st videos that can show the speed of the rocket. It looks like it is just a cell phone but it is great footage! 😊

[@usnorac]

Great camera work.

[@domesti-city]

This video shows the closest representation of what I saw that evening from East San Diego County, but I didn't know what it was until I looked it up. I just knew something fast and powerful just launched from California and headed toward Mexico! It really was spectacular.

[@Moondoggy1941]

So I have watched several of these launches from Vandenberg and none of them have been as epic as this one, most launches are out of Florida so OF course I missed this one, I am so bummed and annoyed I missed it. Hopefully there will be another one to watch.

[@shepshep8654]

I camped at Jalama beach to watch this launch. It is a couple miles from Vandenberg. 10/10 definitely gonna do it again. This video must have been shot close to there.

[@sheogorath-the-incrazy]

I can't believe I saw it all the way from SoCal. My dad was like "it looks a plane from the palm desert airport had an emergency release of fuel" And I was like "... no I think the base at 29 palms fired a rocket... I think ww3 just started...." Get on my phone just to find it Elon doing his thing. 😅

[@adamcastillo4425]

Saw it all the way from Phoenix, AZ

[@solarwizzo8667]

Man, what a shot! Awesome track! Offer your skills to NSF!

[@anais-teodoru]

Nice

[@T1Earn]

What camera is this?

[@Naisium]

Very cool. Interesting that you couldn't hear it at all.

[@olivervision]

Appreciate the comment and yea the rocket is essentially silent.. It takes a few minutes for the sound to start rattling the place..

[@paulocarvalho7877]

UFOs are cool but good old chemical rockets put up quite a show.

[@trantytel8015]
