From t' VAB roof, me hearties, this is video I shot o' t' SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket's first launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on June 4, 2010. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I was fortunate enough t' have access t' t' roof o' Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Buildin' from where I shot this video. Ahoy! Blimey! This is one o' two videos I took. This one is more tightly focused on t' rocket and follows Falcon as it climbs into t' sky on its way t' space. Begad! Blimey! Falcon-9, built by Space Exploration Technologies Corp., flew nearly perfectly. Avast! Blimey! After a 9-minute trip t' orbit, arrr, t' rocket placed a summy mockup o' t' Dragona capsule spacecraft into low Earth orbit. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! 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. Begad! Blimey! Go SpaceX! Blimey! Go Falcon-9!
