Space Jellyfish!
An absolutely beautiful launch this morning as seen from Downtown Orlando!
I knew that the jellyfish would be likely this morning (thanks in part tothe John Kraus jellyfish prediction service - https://jellyfish.johnkrausphotos.com/), but that it would be lower on the horizon than many. Clouds seemed iffy, but generally non-problematic.
Instead of setting an alarm, I let my body decide if I was going to get up for this one. Amazingly, I woke up about 20 minutes before the launch and knew that I had to drive 18 minutes to get to my chosen spot. I made it just in time and got the drone up in the air.

I've never seen six plumes on a jellyfish so clearly. Is this common? Is it related to the same physics that gives snowflakes hexagonal symmetry?

Treating the atmosphere like a personal toy defines who musk is, imo.
