Went walking the dogs at 0600 this morning. Saw what I thought was a meteor, it was beautiful, later I found out what it really was. Still beautiful to me.

Sgt (Join to see) truly was. Lost sight of it after a couple minutes. Now I wonder if that was the point the main engines shut off prior to jettisoning.
