There were spectacular footage of the SpaceX FalconX rocket launch out of Vandenburg AFB in California - even seen & filmed over 500 miles away in Arizona on Friday night, Dec 22nd, 2017. But what I found intriguing is that Japan had launched their own rocket just 1 minute prior to the FalconX - of which that rocket looked more 'normal'. The Japanese rocket was heading Southeast over the Pacific Ocean, and then 60 seconds later the SpaceX one launched. On top of all that, China also sent up a rocket 2 1/2 hours later. Sounds a tad fishy to me (lol).
Sunspots still around.
