I'm so jealous, I've seen three rocket launches in my life, and I had to drive from Chicago to see them. When I was a kid, twice I insisted on my family planning a trip to Disney around a rocket launch so I could see it, and then once as an adult I went with my niw fiancee. She cites it as one of the things that let her know I was the one, seeing how excited I got for other people doing something cool, and by that point I was well certain she was the one because she was always with me whenever I was on my way to a hairbrained, quickly planned adventure. We travel less now, because we have real person jobs, but when we get turned around on our way to a destination, or have to change plans last minute because the place is closed or something else came up, I still look at her and say "Yet another adventure". I fucking love rocket launches.

Edit to say, I did not expect this to blow up like this, I was just a bit in my cups and waxing poetic like a sappy moron, thank you all for the replies and the awards! Never stop chasing that next adventure, no matter how great or small!

I saw what looked like an asteroid this morning on the way to work south of STL. I looked it up later and it was shortly after the rocket launch, just barely over the tree-line. Neat thing to see from so far away before daylight.

One of my coworkers here in Georgia came in with a video his girlfriend shot this morning driving to work trying to figure out what it was. Looked like a comet to my, but I should have figured space X.
