Last night on my way home from work I stopped for gas. As
I was filling the tank I looked up just in time to see a SpaceX
ship lifting off. It was almost a year to the day (June 18th) that
we saw our first one lifting off and this one was just as beautiful.

I didn't want to miss any of it by jumping into the car and getting
my phone to record it, so... But I took this picture before leaving
the station.

"On Monday, June 16 at 8:36 p.m. PT, Falcon 9 launched 26 Starlink
 satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East
(SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. 

This was the third flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission,
which has now launched three Starlink missions."
