May 30, 20206 yr It's utterly incredible that they can release an engine so far up and land it right on the spot they wanted.

It'll show you based on your location where to look.

May 30, 20206 yr I’m pretty sure we spotted it. Tracking it low on the horizon coming from the west to south west under the moon
