Look for an orange fireball in the sky.
What just happened..

You just watched a rocket launch!
I'm aware of that, haha, just seemed like something went wrong but I guess that was just the second stage kicking in. Glad it's going without problems. :dance:
It saddens me at the lack of quality of the video. I get it's being streamed to like 80K people but that footage quality was low.
I can see it from my house! Just barely though, it looks a broken pixel on a computer monitor that's flashing from yellow, orange and white.
I'm in Louisville and the closest city you can see the rocket in is Lexington-Fayette. Damn.
Just went outside and watched it, looking a bit like a shooting star.
Goddamnit i always miss these

So what's the mission of the rocket? Or is it just a test flight?
