Spacex launch

being only 25 miles from Vandenberg AFB and wanting to see this launch, I drove to  location overlooking Lompoc Valley and with a direct line of sight to the South Base launch pad.

Another perfect launch and a brilliant sky show of exhaust gases and stage separation and re-entry burn.
Seeing the 1st stage come straight down and land was simply amazing, even the sonic boom was fun.
