Banana River

Delta IV launch from the kayak in the Banana River.  Thursday, July 23, 2015.
 Put in at KARS Park
On the water at 6:43 PM

 A look at the rocket before paddling in the other direction.




 


 I went to other way to see alligators and manatees at the docks.
 
 


 

 Good sign
 Better sign
Launch towers
 

 

 Launch tower with Delta IV rocket, poised for liftoff
 


 

 
 



I did not see anyone else on the water.  Which is great, except for there being nobody with a radio nearby, listening to the countdown.
 I almost missed it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqY3AtNZGds





 
 
 
Landed a little before 9. That's the moon, not the rocket
