I went to an old pier a couple miles away from you (supposedly 15 miles from the launch) and got a great view, and about 1/20 as many people.

@karjens41 Hi. We were the people from Wales, UK. It was hard work getting there, but I really wanted my daughter to see this historic event. I agree - it really was an amazing experience.

@hosseinpn I did, it's on my channel. It's not very good, though, since this little girl next to me kept asking, "Where is it? Where is it?" And I had to stop and point it out to her, not paying attention to my camera.

Hey I think I was standing right next to you. Were you the Canadian people I talked to? Absolutely amazing experience but your video came out way better than mine. :-)
