Unspectacular SpaceX Launch video

[Radegast74]

I'm about 40-50 miles NW of Vandenburg, so I went to the park where I walk my dogs and recorded this rather "meh" video of the launch. The iPhone just isn't built for low light filming...which I knew, I just had to try...

The atmospheric effects post launch were incredible. Nothing could do it justice, this definitely doesn't. Here is a brief clip of the start:

Should have been clear--> **My video** was unspectacular! The launch was friggin' awesome! The atmospheric effects afterward were amazing!

Hurrah for the Unspectacular!

What you have shown us there is what, potentially, a lot of us would see if commercial spaceflight takes hold and there is a spaceport or three in every country and we become a spacefaring race with our current level of technology...

You've just given me a glimpse of what could become our species future, maybe a few hundred years before it happens - I wouldn't say that was unspectacular

Do you wan't me to show how i launch my rocket?

I'm little bit jealous because i'm far away from any launch pad.

What a strange sunrise, the air pollution must be really bad there...

If you hadn't said it was a launch i would have guessed it was the sun rising through a filter.

It was amazingly bright. I can't wait for the BFR to launch out of there!

Very cool!
