This rocket is a commercial venture that is going to resupply the International Space Station. The launch was delayed on Saturday, but the launch was successful early this morning:

The star effect seen in the video is quite dramatic.

This rocket was also carrying cremated remains of some very devoted space fans:

Thanks MisterWilson. I live in Florida and have always enjoyed the "space race". I hope the commercial rockets will be OK. David
