From t' VAB roof, ya bilge rat, this is video I shot o' t' SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket's first launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on June 4, me hearties, 2010. I be fortunate enough t' have access t' t' roof o' Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Buildin' from where I shot this video. This is one o' two videos I took. Ya scallywag! This one is more tightly focused on t' rocket and follows Falcon as it climbs into t' sky on its way t' space. Falcon-9, built by Space Exploration Technologies Corp., flew nearly perfectly. After a 9-minute trip t' orbit, ya bilge rat, t' rocket placed a summy mockup o' t' Dragona capsule spacecraft into low Earth orbit. Arrr! T' flight results were : nominal shutdown and orbit was almost exactly 250km. Telemetry showed essentially a bullseye: ~0.2% on perigee and ~1% on apogee. Arrr! Go SpaceX! Go Falcon-9!
