Vandenberg is in Cali, and that video was shot in Phoenix. Plus, orbital launches almost ALWAYS go east, to take advantage of the earths rotation. I don’t think it was heading west, unless it was a very unusual launch indeed.

Going to the right I mean. Southeast is going to the right. You got me all confused.GrumpyCatFace wrote:Correct. Is it not going to the left?California wrote:I think I know the direction in which I am facing at my own house. Southeast would be going to left in that pictureGrumpyCatFace wrote:

The rocket was going towards the ocean, which when I am bearing the way as I am in that picture is to my right.

It was launched from Vandenberg, which I thought was already adjacent to the ocean.

I was just going to let this go since I haven't logged in in weeks but then I noticed my mistake on that post.

Dude. The sun sets in the West. The ocean is west of California, and Vanderberg is on the ocean. Your photo is facing west.California wrote:Going to the right I mean. Southeast is going to the right.

Unless one of these three things is false, that rocket ain’t going west.

Watch the SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket Launch Today
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — After facing early failures and skeptical attitudes, SpaceX has disrupted the business of launching rockets into space by combining cut-rate prices with the routine recovery of used rocket boosters. On Tuesday, the company, founded by Elon Musk, hopes to achieve a new milestone with a successful test launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket, which would be the most powerful rocket in operation in the world today.
Mr. Musk’s ultimate goal — sending people to Mars — requires inventing businesses and profits that do not exist today. He also may be angling for the federal government to help pay his way.

Fuck yeah. Biggest rocket since Apollo.
EDIT: I set the feed up in one of our conference rooms for everyone to watch.
- The simultaneous booster landing was incredible.
- Still waiting to see if the first stage landed or not.
- Some of the old-timer NASA guys had the fear of God put into them. wowza...
