I live 25mi south of Kennedy/Cape Canaveral. Walked out the front door as I do with most and enjoyed the show. Very happy to see us launching people again. I generally don’t make a trek closer because the rockets are smaller and crowds are big. I was ~10mi away during the first Falcon launch and about the same for the first return to land by the rocket. I was on Kennedy grounds, as close as you could ever get, for the Heavy’s first launch. It was awesome, the first time anything came close to a Shuttle launch (when the Shuttle went up my house shook like a train was going by; the Heavy is close but just not the same). The return of the Heavy twins to land was something special. We see all types of rockets launch here and it’s kinda old hat but when the Twins returned, side by side, double double sonic booms, touching down within a second of each other....very few things make me feel like a kid again, that certainly did.
The pic is a little grainy (cellphone) but was a recent Falcon 9.
