It’s so amazingly inspirational, and awe inspiring. Thank You!

I am with you! I saw Starship two times go up from S. Texas! I missed all of the Apollo and all of the Shuttle launches but have the fever again also. Starship test 2 I got to witness with my son. Very thrilling! Test 3 I am hoping to see with my 9 year old grandson. He and my son are currently in N. California so it is going to be difficult. But maybe with more frequency of launches it will all happen for us. If you can, you should see it in person from South Texas.

From this distance, the main booster flame is the size of 1/3 of a #2 pencil held at arm's length, and very bright and conspicuous. Can almost always hear the sonic boom of the first stage returning, and watch the second stage all the way to the SE horizon.
