Wow - you guys are really harsh.

Congrats NASA, ESA, and SpaceX on a great launch. May Sentinel-6 reach orbit nominally and begin providing the critical data this planet desperately needs.

Great launch indeed. No fog, and after living in CA for a long time I know that is special. So this was the first time I could see launch and landing from Vandenberg in all its glory. Awesome!

T+30 minutes. Heading towards South America.

Indeed. May our kids use the data from these Jasons to design the future. Congrats Spacex, NASA and ESA.

Launch. Land. Repeat. A #SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifting @NASA’s Sentinel-6 satellite into orbit from California’s Vandenberg AFB and then coming back to land next to the launch pad. A beautiful end to the West Coast launch drought. @NASASpaceflight #sentinel6 #nasa
