@neverbeaten Totally bonkers. I had no idea we were on track for that, and then the pilot announces it and I was like huh I wonder if we'll see that

@MikeBarbre 100% that was crazy and such a coincidence!

@VWDasher Nope quite honestly that was incredible

[thoreau@mas.to]

@bazurk @samvarma True story!

I think from the plane's perspective they were far enough away, but from the ground the plane looked close enough to the rocket to make me scrunch up my face and try to do mental math involving a rocket traveling south on a vertical incline 100 degrees at 7.8 to 7.9 kms/s and a plane traveling north at 965 km/hr..... adjust for wind, carry the one, try not to have a small heart attack....
