Looking forward to another amazing view from my backyard in North Port, near the gulf coast, 200 miles west of Cape Canaveral and the space coast. Two hundred miles away!

Can we have a max. Limits on global rockets launched and it's threshold. Business must not cover our earth.

T-45 minutes and weather is 95% favorable — after yesterday's recovery-weather delay, that number counts twice: once for liftoff, and again for the booster's ride home to the droneship. Who else is counting down to 7:04 ET?

95% favorable in Florida is the real miracle here

95% favorable is about as good as Florida weather gets. Pad 40 has become one of the busiest launch pads on Earth, turning flights around in days. Will rideshare cadence like this keep pushing small-sat launch prices down?

95% favorable. In Montreal, that's exactly what the forecast says right before it hails sideways on me at the bus stop.

We need you to go ahead and move the lunchtime up so that it’s still dark so that we can see the fireworks from North Carolina. Thanks!! 🚀 @SpaceX @elonmusk
