Thank you as well Tony. Came home from work just a little bit too late to catch the ascent. Hope you feel better soon!

Falcon 9 launches Merah Putih 2 from SLC-40.

While the alignment wasn’t perfect, it’s still sweet to see how this composition came out - the vapor falling backlit from the booster, full flame detail from the 9 Merlin 1D’s, and the light refraction in the energy waves emitted from the exhaust.
