    Nice one.

    I hope to watch a rocketlab launch next year.

    One "advantage" to be stuck at home is that I am more tuned into the various launches, and I start watching the streaming - just because I am sick of the normal news.

    There was something launching from Wallops Island VA back in early October. For us, that's about 60 miles away. We were watching the pre-launch preparations on a streaming feed, and once the rocket launched we went outside to watch the thing climb into the sky. Back before Covid, we once went to Chincoteague to view a launch - that was less than 10 miles from the pad, and we obviously got a much better view.

    With a little tweaking around the engines, SN9 should be able to land.. Had the engines worked good, it would have landed.. Everything else worked perfect.
     
  9. Here's the video of the flight, cued to start just before lift off. I loved this and have already watched it twice.
