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.

Some houses cost less than Indian space agency spent on getting to the Moon.

Tumbling through the air, and then exploded. Too bad for this expensive firework.

Just ignore the fact that it had completed its arc at an altitude lower than what commercial airplanes fly.

You can see it with your naked eye when it's flight path orbits over your nation. Isn't that amazing.

This footage is identical to any NASA or Space X launch.

Do you want to see it with a telescope? No problems.

Just build one with the diameter of 50,000ft but until then you will have to trust the mainstream media that it's actually in space.

The filthy chinks sure find it difficult to fake the ball without help from NASA and other government agencies.

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

Satellites and space debris sometimes break up over populated areas. https://www.space.com/spacex-debris-fall-australia-crew-1-dragon-capsule

Spacecraft parts like Soviet satellites with nuclear reactors have fallen on places like Canada:

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.
