Falcon 9 Crew 2 Launch

Saw the launch this morning from my backyard in NE Florida. Probably the coolest launch I’ve ever seen. Saw the stage separation and the first stage burns to return to the recovery drone ship. The conditions where such that you could see pulsing waves in the sky. Watched the second stage until it went over the horizon and first stage until it fell below the tree line. Better than the two shuttle launches I saw from Titusville, FL. Both of those flew into the clouds shortly after launch.

Would really like to see one of those launches. Of all the times that I have visited Florida there was never one scheduled. Must be impressive to see and hear. Is it incredibly loud?

I’m in NE Florida, so no I don’t hear it. When I visited Titusville, I was about 10 miles from the launch and could barely hear it. So it was a bit over a minute to hear anything.
