Was at Epcot today and saw the rocket in the sky not realizing what i was watching. Glad I saw this.

[SaharaColeman]

Must be scary not knowing what could happen when taking off. I hope everyone stay safe 🙏🏽🥺

[TraderJam]

SpaceX just knocked the ball out of the park - Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin you did your best

[stargazer]

Very cool to see take off at night....Living on the East coast of South Florida we get to see all the action from Cape Canaveral. 🌎🚀

[rutabagasteu]

I remember when people listened to the launch.

[ninadiamant]

Wish we would solve problems here on Earth first.

[YummyFood]

Wow that’s amazing ! What a time to be alive

[anthonyroberts]

We can launch people into space but can't help the American people during this Pandemic and Crisis of global climate change and Destruction!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Get it together America!!

[Mr.E]

They’re not tourists

This isn’t Beezos and Branson. These people actually trained for this mission

[thomaspsanzi]

"Congratulations SpaceX Rocket & All Civllian Crew & Cape Canaveral Crew & Company!"

[marcv]

This crowd is really annoying. Sounds like they turn on an applause sign.

[Bobby_Digital]

Complete waste of money… it’s basically just a very expensive joyride to a low earth orbit and back with absolutely no real purpose other than bragging rights “I’m awesome I went to space”…. Not really

[erasmus]

Incredible to watch.
So envious of them.
Have safe journey and return guys.
God bless them.

[v.britton]

Aliens" what are the kids doing now?"

[johnferreira]

Family and I where getting ready for the fireworks show at Magic Kingdom and saw the launch not knowing what it was at first. Amazing!

[katienoneofyourbusiness]

I'm crying watching this. I want to go into space more than any of those rich people and know I never can. I hate money.

Branson and Bezos are smashing their keyboards as we speak

[know_Name]

YAY! Poke more holes in the ozone layer! no big deal bud

[jeremyglass]

Space is the ultimate frontier, for those who question why should we invest in it, space is one of the few things that unites us all, we may fight constantly about politics but the one thing we can agree on is that this is inspiring and a positive thing for humanity as a species!

[fencefirst]

Can we get Eric Dubay on the next one PLEASE!?
