SpaceX fly by

The SpaceX launch was supposed to be a few days ago but got delayed until today. Or should I say tonight, since that is the time it was over here when it launched from Florida. Full story and photos here.

It was too light here when it first flew by around 8:40 pm, but by 10:15 pm when it made its second orbit of Earth we actually saw it! Very exciting. It is actually directly in the center of this photo, a tiny white dot, with Gordon and Rhodri in the foreground:

We had the Denslows over for drinks and snacks, and we tried our best to maintain physical distance between one another as we laughed together outside on the deck. It was really fun to be with them, a memorable night.
