“This is like history, and I’m getting old enough, I need to see all the history I can see,” first-time launch viewer Linda Daniels said.

Jose Alberto Herrera came with his friends from Monterrey, Mexico, to see the launch. 

“We come to the island a lot, and we decided to come and actually see the launch,” Herrera said.

The crowd never took their eyes off the Starship, even several minutes after it disappeared.
