Hey, Gnat...keep an eye out for your mail carrier.

Or the FBI. And DEA. Maybe ATF for good measure.

Miz Schnell gets credit for the photo of the evening - the Falcon 9 booster using its cold-gas thrusters to reorient for its reentry burn. When she first showed me this, I thought it was a blur or an artifact - she shot this through a pair of 20-power field glasses with her Galaxy S8.

Thanks for the pics. Those are some great ones...at least the wife's are. :lol:

Never seen a night time shot. We were at Disney World Typhoon Lagoon with the kids years ago when they announced "look to the east to see the shuttle launch". We were on top of a water slide so perfect view for about 2 nano-seconds! Now you see it now you don't. Still caused goosebumps!

The one with the wee red blob in the 4:30 position is the booster landing back at Vandenberg. It's not an impressive photo, but the feat was pretty cool.

In the late 90s (98? 99?) I was at a dog and pony show for a billing system in Jacksonville. Even in the middle of the day we could still see the Shuttle lifting off.

We were visiting my parents in Lakeland for the final shuttle launch, but they scrubbed it and sent it up after we had come home :roll:
