Is your @SIRIUSXM coming in clear?
The next generation #SXM8 satellite has been deployed, and will continue to make its way to geostationary orbit before going into service.

Falcon 9 punches a hole in the cloud layer, and then lights it up!

Typically, clouds are a bummer when watching a launch, but the way those 9 Merlins lit up that thin cloud layer looked really cool, as they pushed @SIRIUSXM's #SXM8 satellite to orbit!

Liftoff!

At 12:26am (ET) Sunday, #SpaceX launched the #SXM8 satellite atop a flight-proven #Falcon9 rocket. Minutes later, the booster was successfully recovered.

This was the (cloudy) view from Palm Shores, 25-miles south of the pad.
