On their fifth attempt, SpaceX successfully launched it’s SES-9 Communications satellite aboard a Falcon-9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center this evening. We were among those gathered on the edge of the Indian River due west of the launch site to watch. It was amazing to see. Now we await news as to whether the first stage landed on the unmanned barge. Apparently video cut out just before landing. There’s an unconfirmed rumour that it did indeed land. Guess we have to thank NC DMV for keeping us here long enough!
Cobh on Our Own
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
