That was very cool; watched the lift-off on NASA TV and then saw the rocket from my back garden here in Las Vegas. Saw the first stage burn-out followed by second stage ignition and burn-out! First stage sep left a cloud of smoke visible to the naked eye, even in the dark.

Very cool!

What camera was that.  It was still pulling in an image at 150miles altitude and heaven knows how far down range.  Phenomenal.
