That was cool. Always fun to see moon missions launch, but the view was really good tonight. Through a 10x pocket monocular I was able to see the reentry burn and the upper stage in the same field of view; I don’t remember ever seeing a reentry burn at sea before. Kept track of the upper stage through its entire burn.

Photo: launch of ispace and Firefly lunar landers at 1:11 AM today. A mostly empty beach aside from a couple people in cold weather clothes. Blue Origin’s pad lit on the horizon.
