This Falcon 9 rocket had been delayed day after day, I originally went out this past Saturday to see the launch from a park on the Indian River Lagoon (Intracoastal Waterway).

I had to pick my wife up from work on Wednesday at 6:00pm, and according to the radio the launch was on for 6:05pm.

I simply took my camera with me and we watched the launch from the parking lot where my wife works in Melbourne, Florida.

This was carrying a satellite that is supposed to watch and monitor the climate on earth.

It's still a good show, even from about twenty five miles (40km) away.
