One of the benefits of living on an Island where the city won't pay for street lighting.

We had a perfect view of a SpaceX launch over Tybee Island at about 6:40pm again; the vapor trail, the halo and the return of the boosters is just amazing.

You gotta love Elon. I know he is a contentious ass sometimes but.... well, we get to see the marvels...

I am there every day, spinning around on a tiny planet on a remote arm of
the Milky Way galaxy, surrounded by emptiness and stardust.

In a misspent youth in another life many moons ago, I used to be spaced
out. Does that count?
