A great achievement to celebrate in these troubling times of COVID and rapidly escalating racial tensions.

Thanks for sharing, you poser.
Bob and Doug toque off.
Was on the beach at Cape Canaveral as SpaceX rose into the sky. It was fantastic!
Watching the folks cheer on another American space achievement was heartwarming, especially amid the other chaos ongoing that day. People literally were screaming, "go...go...go." Favorite moment was when a woman who worked for a NASA contractor yelled out, "Wonderful, I have five more years of employment!"
If you've never watched a launch in person -- put it on your bucket list. It's really cool. We have a restaurant in Melbourne, FL with rooftop dining from which we watch launches. Lots of rocket scientists watch from there too. When the rocket takes off to the southeast, first stage separation occurs at a point that seems almost right over the restaurant. You see the line, hear the boom and then, the first stage is G-O-N-E, gone!

Making America's Space Program Great Again (with the help from the private sector?)

Very cool. Never seen a launch up close, but I was in Jacksonville once and saw one of the Space Shuttle launches passing over the ocean.
