#SpaceSaturdary: The first
#SpaceX #Falcon9 #Heavy #rocket launched from LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. Crowds gathered across the
#SpaceCoast to watch, including at Playalinda Beach.
In this
#photograph, the rocket has risen above a hill, covered with eager viewers, while the three-cored rocket rising on three, firey exhaust plumes, and smoke billowing off to the left.
The views (and Fox, the
#photographer) had waited hours in the hot Sun to see this. The
#joy in the crowd is
#palpable. One person has thrown their arms in the air, celebrating the rocket’s victory.
This
#Falcon9Heavy carried an electric vehicle mounted on its upper stage as a test payload.
There is a sea grape bush in the foreground on the left.
