SpaceX's Falcon 9 recently launched early night last Thursday, November 5, and people who were out near the vicinity of Cape Canaveral witnessed the ascent of the massive rocket ship. The launch was visible in the naked eye for those in Disneyland's magical theme park, which resembles a "shooting star" that plays along with the park's background music.
The Falcon 9 completed the early stage of its rocket launcher that already made its way to the Atlantic, where SpaceX's "Of Course I Still Love You" drone ship was waiting to collect the remains. The launch was a partnership with the United States Space Force.
Falcon 9's Launch: Disneyland's Ascending Shooting Star
According to Inside the Magic.net, the SpaceX launch was visible in Disneyland, Florida, particularly to the park's guests and visitors. Families who were visiting the park were in the perfect vicinity to witness the launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9 to the night sky.
The launch took place at around 6:24 pm, an excellent time to enjoy the park's night activities and having a night sky with the colorful theme park. The sky showed the visitors a speck of light ascending towards the sky, which is none other than the Falcon 9's launch.
Twitter user Michael (@VirusElite524) captured a spectacular video where it shows the SpaceX rocket ship flying towards the night sky with Disneyland's Fantasy Land theme song playing in the background. The experience by the Twitter user is genuinely one-of-a-kind as the launch coincided with his visit to the theme park.

The rocket ship resembled a "shooting star" that travels invertedly, shooting up towards the skies and continuing its journey. Disneyland's "magical experience" guarantee is undoubtedly completed by the "Fantasy Land" theme song, along with SpaceX's Falcon 9 appearance.
Falcon 9: Bringing US Space Force's Lockheed Martin-built Satellite
TITUSVILLE, FL - MAY 22: SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft atop rocket Falcon 9 lifts off from Pad 40 of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Titusville, Florida. The launch this morning makes SpaceX the first commercial company to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station.
The mission from SpaceX did not gather as much attention compared to other launches that took place. Falcon 9's latest mission was only a "payload" that will deliver a spacecraft right into Earth's orbit and return to the planet.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 carries Lockheed Martin's GPS III Satellite and GPS III Space Vehicle 04, which is currently climbing out of its operational orbit. From there, the space vehicle would go on its way and would be readily available for private use, as requested by space agencies or companies.
The Falcon 9 could only bring the satellite as far as the Earth's operational orbit and would continue to complete its journey along the way. The satellite is currently under the control of Space Force's team that would be used to deploy solar arrays and antennas.
