I recorded this on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. We were in the first row of section 218 I believe.

Not sure what you mean? It launched successfully as the video clearly shows.

@@DanTheManSoCal Did you see the trajectory change? Have you ever seen a rocket break apart then go sideways instead of UP-Out?

You mean the separation of the 2 boosters from the rocket that returns to a landing vessel out in the ocean (the aircraft carrier like ship is named “Of Course I Still Love You”)? Are you familiar with the launch pattern of the Falcon 9? Watch the next video and you’ll be able to observe where I pick up watching the rocket continue after this separation (including the sonic booms from those 2 return boosters). This was a successful launch.

@@DanTheManSoCal OK, sure. Yes. Nope. I am not, so I should probably look into that first. Thanks for enlightening me. I mean, over 300 launches and only two aborted / failed, which is pretty damned good. Just looked odd to meme especially the vapor pattern and how wide it got, but then this launch was faster than the last one, so there's that. I wonder why they all come crashing to the sea though on re-entry. As far as I know these ships don't survive re-entry well. What's your take on the re-entry part?

@@TimStJohn-zd2fx You should go watch some of the SpaceX footage of the Falcon9. After separation, the return boosters actually fly themselves back to the landing pad out on the ship that’s in the ocean and they’re reused on future Falcon9 launches. It’s pretty cool stuff.

Hahaha!! I know there’s a strong contingency of people who don’t believe so. I’m not one of those people. I’ll say that two things can be true at the same time and that the Apollo missions were of course part of a space race with Russia as a part of the overall Cold War, and that our successes there were an obvious important propaganda mission as much as a true scientific one (and there’s some general evidence to that being the case). With that said, there’s no credible evidence that the moon landings were fake, and all of the debates I’ve strangely listened to (I don’t know why I even bothered…trying to be objective I guess), the “evidence” stating how it was faked is all incredibly and amateurishly wrong. Usually there’s not much point in debate as the same crowd pushing a fake moon landing narrative are the same crowd also pushing a flat Earth narrative. Sorry…not my bag.

It really was! He’s such a great musician!

Same here. This was such a nostalgia-fest for me too. I felt like I was back in my room in the late 1980s listening to that tape as I did incessantly over and over again. This was my first time seeing Tears For Fears live, and so I’m just so incredibly grateful I got to catch them and hear this song from them directly before they retired or stopped touring.
