Liftoff!
At 12:26am (ET) Sunday, #SpaceX launched the #SXM8 satellite atop a flight-proven #Falcon9 rocket. Minutes later, the booster was successfully recovered.
This was the (cloudy) view from Palm Shores, 25-miles south of the pad. After MECO (main engine cutoff), the clouds pretty much blocked the second-stage burn,
Note the interesting pillar of light in the cloud -- that's not a lens flare; it was visible to the naked eye as the rocket flew through the cloud low on the horizon. It was quite cool.

This is the SpaceX Starlink v? launch of Feb 15, seen from a slightly different and wider angle. (I've lost track of the numbering, hence the question mark.)
This was from my backup camera, and I'm actually finding this to be a more pleasing frame than the tighter frame I first posted. To me, this is a very Space Coast view.
There's a cool landmark in the sky just to the right of the streak, the Big Dipper, in motion over the course of this 255-second exposure.
I'm looking north over the Banana River from Health First's Cape Canaveral Hospital, and that's Port Canaveral in the foreground.
Details: ISO400, f14 at 255-seconds at 17mm with a Canon 5D4/EF17-40mm.
One of the photos I took of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as it carried four astronauts toward the International Space Station. The launch took place at 5:49 AM and I shot the image from the beach in Vero Beach which is about 65 miles (105km) south of the launch site. This was the first time that SpaceX reused both a first stage rocket and a dragon capsule to send two American, one Japanese, and one French astronauts on their way. The trip to the space station will take about 23 hours.
ISS047e052707 (04/10/2016) --- The SpaceX Dragon cargo spaceship begins the final approach to the International Space Station. The spacecraft is delivering about 7,000 pounds of science and research investigations, including the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, known as BEAM. Dragon's arrival marked the first time two commercial cargo vehicles have been docked simultaneously at the space station. Orbital ATK's Cygnus spacecraft arrived to the station just over two weeks ago. With the arrival of Dragon, the space station ties the record for most vehicles on station at one time -- six.
Wow, wow, wow.
This is the now thrice flown (& thrice landed) #JCSAT18 #Kacific1 #Falcon9 rocket, launched Mon at 7:10pm (ET) seen from Melbourne, FL and the Indian River Lagoon.
Congrats to

Launched & Landed: A SpaceX Falcon9 rocket carried the OneWebLaunch16 payload to orbit at 11:50pm (ET) Monday.
8 minutes later, the first stage booster returned to Landing Zone 1.
This was the view from Volusia County, seen in a 452-sec (single) exposure.
The #SpaceX #SES12 #Falcon9 launch, with 34 minutes of star trails before the launch.

This Space X rocket launched this with the intent of hitting a moon of an asteroid 7 million miles away in order to 'test' the feasibility of changing orbits of threatening outside intervention (see big comet coming our way this week).
We'll check in come September 2022 and see if we clobber that moon.
Earth's first defense test ( besides of course Russians blowing up satellites willy-nilly )
At 5:27pm (ET), SpaceX launched a Falcon9 rocket from LC-39A, and ~8 minutes later, the rocket booster returned to nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The rocket carried 40 OneWeb sattelites to orbit.
The rising sun peeks from beneath the morning gloom as workers inspect a early Starship prototype at the SpaceX complex in Boca Chica, Texas.
The Inspiration4 zero-g indicator "space puppy" found some battery-powered festive lights and came out to the beach last night for the SpaceX TurkSat5b Falcon9 launch. It was quite a show.
This is a single, 201-second image. I did some light painting with the iPhone flashlight, but the holiday lights are kinda too much (made worse by the humidity of the beach).
When I showed this photo to Lauren, her immediate reaction was outrage: "You took the doggie to the beach?" followed by "Where is the doggie RIGHT NOW?" (as if I had left the dog out there). But I'm obligated to state that no dogs (stuffed, or otherwise) were harmed during this shoot.
I took a couple of cameras up to Sebastian Inlet State Park to the beach to photograph the SpaceX launch this evening. The SpaceX Falcon 9 delivered 60 Starlink satellites into orbit.
SpaceX Launch From Vandenburg Space Force Base, California
Shot over New Mexico at 36,000 feet on flight from Houston to Salt Lake City. Booster has just seperated. Taken last year.
From the pad, an impressive display of the power of the #SES12 #SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket, launched thunderously from SLC40 this (Monday) morning at 12:45am (ET).

Toujours partants pour un petit tour de capsule spatiale ! La journée a commencé avec un tour de piste, à proximité de l’ISS (une soixaine de mètres), pour changer de place de parking (Shane a maintenant sa chambre à l’étage, sur le dessus de l’ISS, plutôt que sur le devant). C’était agréable (et une très sérieuse opération) d’enfiler nos scaphandres et de réaliser toutes les procédures de départ… mais pour mieux revenir, il n’est pas encore temps de rentrer !
A good day to take our spacecraft for a spin! Just a short trip around the block, to re-dock to the zenith Space Station port and free up the forward parking spot for upcoming spacecraft, yes, there’s a lot of traffic up here! It felt good to put on our spacesuits and leave the International Space Station… just for a little while, it’s not time to go home just yet. 😃

J-5: À Baïkonour, l'équipage n'est pas censé voir sa fusée avant le jour du décollage... mais ici la tradition est différente ! Nous avons eu la chance d'arriver au Kennedy Space Center au moment précis où le Falcon 9 était verticalisé sur le pas de tir. C'est toujours impressionnant de le voir de si près, comme en témoignent nos nombreuses photos et selfies
.
L-5: In Baikonur the crew is not supposed to see their rocket before launch, but this is a tradition we don’t have here! We were lucky enough to arrive at NASA's Kennedy Space Center the exact time the rocket was erected into the vertical position on the launch pad. Always impressive to see it from up close... impressive enough for our crew to snap lots of photos and selfies!

A SpaceX rocket lifts off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station carrying the Dragon resupply spacecraft to the International Space Station. Liftoff was at 4:47 a.m. EST on January 10, 2015. The commercial resupply mission delivered 3,700 pounds of scientific experiments, technology demonstrations and supplies, including critical materials to support 256 science and research investigations on the space station.

Beach, sun, surf & a rocket. What's not to like about Monday morning on the Space Coast as #SpaceX successfully launched the #Starlink payload atop a 3x flown (& 4x recovered!) #Falcon9 rocket, seen here from Playalinda Beach.
This is a shameless ripoff of John Kraus Photos' amazing shot, taken a few feet to my left. John's shot was terrific, and his choice to go with a B&W edit was great.
We drove north of where pretty much everyone else was watching and had hoped to get some lens compression on a shot of the rocket clearing the trees. It sounded good in concept, but the rocket was too far to the right of the spectators to be in the frame. Also, I may or may not have been pointing too far to the left to see the rocket rise above the trees...
Congrats to

Liftoff!!
At 11:12am (ET) Saturday (7/1), the ESA Euclid mission began its million mile journey atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

This is a view of the early Wednesday morning Axiom Space hashtag#Ax4 crewed launch by hashtag#SpaceX, seen from MLB.
For every launch, numerous resources are deployed to keep the crew safe, and this fully stocked helicopter was on station for crucial (and happily, not needed) support.
Big thanks to Operator Solutions for their excellent work and for allowing me to shoot from the flight line. It sure was a pretty launch (and landing!).
The SpaceX Falcon Heavy slicing through a darkening sky on its way down range as seen from Vero Beach, Florida.
Tonites rocket launch of Falcon 9 Crew 6. Was a great night and perfect launch! This was taken from Wabasso Causeway.
August 14, 2017: SpaceX Falcon 9 carrying the Dragon Spacecraft into orbit. The Dragon Spacecraft is carrying 6400 pounds of supplies for the International Space Station. The launch looked flawless and was worth the long walk on a hot Florida summer day to get to a decent vantage point. SpaceX also successfully landed the rockets first stage which will be refurbished and reused in a future launch. Amazing to see.
