3:20 I love how poetic it is when the birds fly away as the Falcon Heavy lifts off, almost as a nod to the achievements of human flight!

[@johnt3606]

I literally am watching the falcon heavy animation video and at the same time I clicked your time stamp the rocket in the animation launched, synchronized to this one.

[@saintphilis]

that is just providence. and they fly away from the noise.

Every time there is a launch a bird flies into view.

[@jshepard152]

Great video! I was right there on Playalinda at the first boardwalk and this captures the scene perfectly. I felt that the excitement in the air must have been what it was like for Apollo 11. It was a privilege to be there.

[@Meyer0656]

David dk Kerr It’s federal property. Only open during the day and is best for SpaceX launches taking off from 39A. Port Canaveral or Jetty Park is where you want to be if you want to see booster landings and rockets taking off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

[@David-DK-Kerr]

​@dreyes78 did you find out?

[@David-DK-Kerr]

@@davalleyguy5020 so if you are camping there then yes… other than that I believe if it’s closed then it’s closed. There was a lot of covid rules going on when I originally started looking and I didn’t check afterwards… still interested. I’ll meet you there if the answer is yes!

[@NewfieParamedic]

No rocket landings?

[@severnt]

How difficult was it to get to that spot on Playalinda? What time did you have to arrive? I know you didn't get out of there for a long time!

[@Meyer0656]

Arrived at 2:30 a.m. and I was about the 30th car in. Short walk down the beach from there. Took four hours to get out, but hung out with people during the worst of the jam.

[@severnt]

You were 30th in a line waiting on them to open or were you able to park at 2:30am where your car will be the whole day (like a parking area)? I've actually not been to Playalinda yet, but would love to go for a future launch.

[@Meyer0656]

Brett Tambling Once you cross over the Max Brewer Bridge, there’s a parking area on the left. I parked on the shoulder just beyond the parking lot.

[@severnt]

Always hard to find out this kind of information and what's open to traffic, what's not. Thank you and good luck on future launches!

[@Meyer0656]

Brett Tambling FWIW, this launch was the exception. I normally go through an hour prior with zero issues. Shouldn’t need to plan a visit in advance.

[@PhantomDrums917]

This is EXACTLY where I want to be when I come to see a launch. I take it there is a public access road that lets you get so far north of the NASA property without trespassing?

[@shellybellykitty]

How are you that close, was it a special invited only thing? That looks less than 2 miles away.......

[@Meyer0656]

Shelly Belly Playalinda Beach is part of the Cape Canaveral National Seashore. The beach is three miles from the launchpad and was open to the public for the launch. Admission is $10 per vehicle.

[@Balance2097]

So the rocket creating a CLOUD. We are Greek God level.

[@ndfields1]

korrdavl Yes

[@Grommo]

It's simply a vertical contrail .... condensation trail. The rocket produces exactly the same exhaust as an airliner and so formed a contrail between 30,000 to around 50,000ft. Passenger jets (and high flying propeller planes) form clouds all the time

[@Balance2097]

Grommo The last few seconds of the video show a cloud formed by the launch near the ground- that is what I was referring to.

[@Grommo]

Ah right. That too. Yes because of the water shock suppression dumping.. ie the water being dumped from huge tanks to suppress the shock waves from the initial ignition and the huge amount of water created by kerosene combustion with oxygen that's more than enough water released into the humid sea air to condense into a low level cloud.

[@Balance2097]

correct

[@LastK123]

Was this from launch pad 39a? I thought they closed this beach when falcon heavy launches from 39a.

[@Meyer0656]

Delusional Andy This is 39A from Playalinda. They closed the first few parking lots, but let us walk up the beach.

The rocket return to the earth in 4:48 ?

[@MirAbdulKayum]

Why does the rocket seem like it flew in a curve and returning back to earth? Sorry I'm not a physics student.

[@_Andrew2002]

It curved so it could stay in orbit. This is spacex not blue origin. You don't need to be a physics student to know this, just finish Grade 7

[@dreyes78]

They launch vertically first so they can hurry up and get through the thicker part of the atmosphere as fast as possible as that creates more drag. Then, once up in the really thin part of the atmosphere they go horizontal to gain the enormous speed they need to be in orbit. It’s not returning down to the earth. It’s simply flying away from you into the distance

Ugh. Shouting “America!” Kind of ruins this for me. This rocket launch is for all of humanity, not this country, which is slowly falling apart. When we get to mars, it’ll give us some perspective. I really hope we don’t identify by nation on mars.

[@indigodragon0613]

The Mojo Card Box The US is the best country to launch because our government is rich af. Saying our country is the best is naive as all hell. Borders are a human creation. They’re not natural. We should be working as one species rather than our nationality. Unfortunately, nationalism runs rampant in this world. It’s that type of divisive thinking which will prevent us from achieving peace and evolving as a species.

[@indigodragon0613]

The Mojo Card Box No. Communism didn’t work. Capitalism isn’t. Face it. Pretty much every form of government us humans have come up with has screwed the majority of citizens over. I think it’s time for something new.

Europa H2O Alien You do realize there is space for people not in your personal home. I don't know why you are so offended.

[@BugRib]

In my experience, when people shout "America", they're usually being kind of ironic--especially when younger people do it. My nephew shouts "America" all the time, and for the most mundane things, like having a successful bowel movement. So I don't think it's usually meant in an annoyingly patriotic manner. Ever since the song "America! Fuck Yeah!" from TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, shouting "America" just hasn't been taken as seriously, I don't think. In fact, I just shouted "America! Fuck yeah!" a minute ago because I had a successful bowel movement.

[@theywasworkingonthetires.5110]

I'm not sure how much of this launch you actually watched, but two of the biggest events happened that day. First, the most powerful rocket ever built was just launched into orbit. Second. Those two rocket boosters returned to earth and landed in sync, standing upright, on two separate launch pads. Also, NASA was Government funded, which means that it used tax dollars to fund missions and research. They didn't have the endless supply of cash to do the research and development to achieve what Elon and SpaceX has achieved.
