Taken from multiple vantage points, some wide angle, some telescope, a few showing hot stage separation, some slow motion, a few with people in the foreground. Can be loud at times.
For 19 years, I lived in Florida and could watch launches including Space Shuttle launches. They always went straight up for a ways then curved off. Never straight up.
In this linked video, a Florida launch is seen going sideways over Pennsylvania. Doesn't look all that high in the sky. Can anybody explain this?
Spacecraft that are de-orbited (sent back into the earth's atmosphere to burn up at over 25,000mph) are usually aimed at a point in the South Pacific called Point Nemo. It's the most uninhabited area of our world being the furthest place from any land and not a part of any common shipping route
Onboard camera view of the Soyuz MS-10 launch and in-flight abort on 11 October 2018. According to the commission that investigated the incident, a faulty sensor damaged during assembly caused the abnormal separation of one of the side boosters, that hit the central booster. This led to depressurization of the central booster and the loss of stabilization of the rocket. The Soyuz MS-10 capsule returned in a ballistic decent mode and the crew members, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin, were safely recovered.
