Never gets old

[@MrKellymcilrath]

Thank you NSF for another great coverage of a starlink launch!!

[@arnoldsmith5754]

very good launch and extra audio on booster landing

[@2atalkandpolitics422]

The fact the falcon 9 grounded for a short time and went back to launch cadence in such a short time is a testament to the falcon 9 engineers and spacex

[@jamesmiller113]

Clean launch, and great footage - nice one lads

[@anitaauer4153]

Grazie per queste magnifiche immagini ! ❤😂

[@creativebytesvideo]

Loving these night time launches! Watched it after the event - thanks for the coverage!

[@corrinastanley125]

Thanks NSF team.

[@darlaparker5838]

Booster landing audio was excellent.

[@zapfanzapfan]

I hope they solve that transistor issue quick so Europa Clipper can launch this window and not wait for a year or more.

[@jamesf333]

Love you guys ❤

[@johnbuchman4854]

In your opening and closing montages you have New Shepherd. Given this, why don't you also show Thunderbird 3 launching from Tracy Island?

14:28 Don't worry, you pronounced it right :)

[@fabrice9893]

Merci pour le soutitrage très bien fait

[@ac_junior72]

Nice!! Ahh, didn't know this one was flying up the east coast, (The trajectory has been SE for a while now) I would have tried to check it out just outside Philly. I've seen Falcon 9 a few times pass by about 7-8 minutes after launch in the past. Maybe next launch(?), this never gets old!

[@anitaauer4153]

Fantastico lancio complimenti ❤

[@4tcgree]

That's right , Bon Voyage!

[@ginstsom6367]
