This remarkable photo was shot from the drone ship out in the Atlantic where the booster would ultimately land. The rocket climbed high enough to be back in sunlight and the expanding engine plume looked like a squid.
Three minutes later the booster had landed, covered with soot from its 14 flights ( they refurbish but don't wash them.) Some of the exhaust cloud is still visible.
Cool pictures captured from the launch video coverage-if you like this sort of stuff.
Hi All,
I watched the Space-X launch of 2 Intelsat Communications satellites last night. It was just after sunset at Kennedy Space Center.
