    From Moonshot Complex 39A. The same launch site used by the first men to walk on the moon in Apollo 11.
    It was in used in 1969 by Buzz Aldrin and Neill Armstrong in Apollo 11 on there trip the first ever trip buy humans to the moon.

    Think its great to see .
    Space X plan to start sending astronauts into space next year all going to plan.

    Am sure there is videos of it launching on the net now. I seen it on Sky News.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    And came back to land as well at LZ-1. Great to see the much talked about throwback of TEL in action.

    Not sure if it's just me but the Falcon looks kinda smallish on that pad.

    Pretty much the same height as the Delta IV. Maybe a little thinner.

    The Saturn Vs were much bigger, of course.
