Insane! The rear fin passed over my car! Incredible my first ever #SpaceX #Starship roll out with Ship 37. In a slight drizzle but worth the 24 hours of straight driving to get here. What a sight!🇺🇲🚀🇺🇲 📸 by Scott Schilke for sipausa.com spacenewsfl.com

While stopped and editing photos from today's activity at Cape Canaveral this happened. #SpaceX B1080-21 rolled by from Port Canaveral heading to Hanger X. What an incredible vehicle built by humans. 21 trips to space. 🇺🇲🚀🇺🇲

Gorgeous view from Veterans Memorial Park Titusville at 2:58 AM 2-2-2023 for #SpaceX #starlink 5-3 with 53 satellites plus B-1069-5 successfully landed on ASOG. Hopefully it's not leaning like last time - previous damage repaired successfully. @maximum_Q

Breaking News: FAA grounds #SpaceX #Starship for debris and particle matter that exceeded 700 feet including material not yet known as hazardous or not falling on Port Isabel three miles away. Certainly this will take many months for the FAA to complete their investigation!🚀🇺🇲

An unbelievable evening catching a rotating #mothership #supercell until it died just after #sunset west of #Dalhart #Texas off Hwy 54! The colors at sunset were insane. The action 6-10-23 was south of Dallas but the beauty was in the pan handle! @LiveStormChaser @TempestTours

Still looking amazing after seven flights & landings @SpaceX #falcon9 #block5 B- 1049.7 is transported back to Cape Canaveral via HWY 401 from Port Canaveral this morning 12-4-20. The stores this booster could tell! @Falcon9Block5 @TalkofTville @SpaceIntellige3 @SpaceXFleet 🚀🇺🇲

Fleet leading @SpaceX #falcon9 #block5 B-1049.7 is leaving Port Canaveral and heading back to #capecanaveral for refurbishment and a future 8th flight while traffic on HWY 401 was stopped in both directions. What a great sight to stumble upon. Congratulations to #SpaceX ! 🚀🚀🚀

I know it's getting colder up north so here is nearly 1.8 million pounds of thrust (heat) to keep you warm from the 141st successful launch by @ulalaunch @torybruno & team. It's also the 86th #AtlasV launch. What a beauty. Congrats @NatReconOfc @45thSpaceWing @space_jim1 🚀🇺🇲🚀
