Living 4 miles from a rocket test stand (video)

9 October 2009, 10:26

Video taken by a guy whose house is 4 miles from SpaceX's test stand. Taken during a full 9 engine test of the Falcon 9 booster last year. For scale: the test stand assembly counting the first stage and framework is about 400' high. 200' is just the test stand platform.

Feel for them as they are doing another full series of tests of both the 1st and 2nd stages in the runup to the upcoming launch of Dragon.
