These folks just went to space and the quality of this live feed looks like we are watching a film from the 60s..

One for the history books! So proud Pensacola is a backup site. I know it is probably unlikely our area might become a regular return location in future, but I can hope should space flight (at last) become a frequent event if we mine the moon for helium and rare Earth minerals.

Some friends stayed over night out at sea. Maybe they’ll have a good view of the splashdown.

22 miles off the coast, maybe if you have some a quality scope.

Splashdown will not be visible from the beach. Current estimate is just over 20 miles offshore.

SpaceX recovery vessel is being launched from NAS Pensacola.

Small chance of hearing re-entry sonic boom. Should not be a smoke/vapor trail visible as Dragon will be tracking from south to north.

Will we be able to see it from the beach?
