My son, in Cantonment, took a video of it going over. Had us all trying to figure out what the heck it could be. We ruled out meteor and shooting star. Then, with a little research, he figured out it was SpaceX! Pretty cool!

For the people that don’t like this, find another way to show your obvious jealousy. He’s rich period. But he made himself rich, so get to work. If he wants to fly around in space he earned that right, worry about yourselves.

So the noise ordinance starts at 10pm in Escambia, and 9PM in Santa Rosa. I’m sure they took that into account for the entire SE when they thought this was a good idea. How many fines were they assessed?

That money is not subsidies. It’s for services rendered involving the Space Station.

$15.3 billion in US government subsidies for SpaceX since 2003.

And don’t get me started on Tesla’s money grabs.

Just a rich kid playing with his toys! Remember the days when it took a major sovereign nation to have enough money to do that? My, how times have changed!

It shook my windows here in Century. I didn’t even think of a sonic boom I just thought a big tree fell close to me. I didn’t think it was an emergency or try to call 911.
