Good view starting about 45sec into flight here in Eastern Antelope Valley. Not as spectacular as night launches but could see sun glistening off rocket itself and a short vapor trail that evaporated about 10 rocket lengths back.

How come the Falcon 9 rockets from Vandenberg carry 20 starlink satellites and the ones from Cape Canaveral carry 23 of them ?

Cant even make it through the aether. Imagine when they collect these rockets they claim go in space out the ocean that someone there was secretly recording it

I've seen the star link up in Canada.
Have to say...I was taken back by the site of it crossing the skyline... Disturbing and mystifying at once

[timboyle]

Why doesn't NASA charge SpaceX for using their launch pads? They are launching satellites for a private business.
