(That scared me $hitless)Scared me as well. The condensation cloud happened just as the vehicle went supersonic, and I had an instant flashback to CRS-7 for a few moments.Maybe it was ice cloud (Cirrus) and both position of sun and ice crystals made it so bright as sonic boom hit it? Quick checking of basic of meteorology tells me that only cirrus clouds (plus massive thunderstorm tops) exits that altitude.Was that audio of the sonic boom? I could have sworn I heard something at that exact moment.

Liftoff for the 100th consecutive successful #Falcon9 mission!This #Starlink mission will complete the 1st orbital "shell" of the internet satellites, and allow SpaceX to offer the service to non-beta users.Overview by Justin Davenport (@Bubbinski): nasaspaceflight.com/2021/05/starli…
To clarify, this batch still has a few months of checkouts and maneuvering into their final orbits before the service can be made available to the general public.
Estimating OCISLY droneship and B1063 to arrive at Port Canaveral on Saturday late afternoon/evening.
I MEAN JUST READ THE INSTRUCTIONS**
GO Searcher and GO Navigator are due to arrive at Port Canaveral on Friday evening.Each ship should hopefully have a fairing half from the latest Starlink launch.
It's a busy evening in Port Canaveral as GO Navigator rolls in with one fairing half followed by OCISLY with a party going on deck. GO Searcher is expected later this evening. OCISLY has been completing inspections/sea trials
First fairing half has arrived in great shape. GO Searcher and the other half are due in around 90 minutes time.SpaceX workers have sent two collection trucks to Port Canaveral so safe to assume both halves are good.
