I have not yet seen a rocket launch in person and (relatively) up close. On my to do list! Excellent images.

Thanks! They are pretty neat to see. It's my 4th view of a launch, two in Florida seen from Disney World, two from my backyard at home. Not been close enough to hear them though, but they look amazing even from miles/km away.
