Keep forgetting how ominous space rocket launches are.

This is a perfect application for a strong multicopter -- before it, the nearest airborne camera would probably be over 2 mi away. With an RC copter, there's no human safety to worry about and as long as it stays clear of the test, it's guaranteed to have the best seat in the house!

I can't believe they put it back down right on the money. Awesome job SpaceX! The view on launch was spectacular
