Smartphone still photos of the launch this evening as seen from north Merritt Island.

In the last two photos, you see the first stage separate and then the two additional dots are the fairing halves falling back to the Atlantic.

We call that sperm-like vapor trail "the jellyfish." Because "the sperm" is not suitable for a general audience. 😉

Here's my smartphone amateur video of tonight's launch as seen from north Merritt Island.

Both this morning and this evening, people were out for walks and didn't even bother to look up. That's a shame. I often point it out to them, but generally just get a meh.

@softwaremerc Thank you. Some are better than others. Somewhere on my YouTube channel is a complete Falcon Heavy launch and landing. Because it was just after dark, you could see both boosters almost all the way back to the Cape landing site.
