We were watching the lantern festival launch into the ponds at the park in Palm Desert when the rocket 🚀 flew over. It was perfect timing for hundreds to watch as they paid tribute to loved ones❣️

I was on Mt Hopkins in southern AZ at the time and had a clear view of the launch from 600 miles away.... Really cool to see the booster reentry burn. The 2nd stage looked like a huge "sky octopus".
