So, I&#x27;ve lived within earshot of the Cape since 1985, and I&#x27;m pretty used to hearing launches.  Tonight, I had a new experience.<p>I was working on a signal distortion problem with a colleague when I heard the rumble of the launch.  &quot;Rocket just launched&quot;, I said.  He was on Google chat with me and said, &quot;It did?&quot;.  He lives a few miles south of me and so he gets the sound waves a few seconds later ;).<p>A couple of minutes later I did a double-take.  &quot;THAT&#x27;s a new sound!&quot;. I&#x27;ve heard rockets blow before, but I&#x27;ve never heard one come back to land.<p>Then I checked the internet to confirm what my ears had already told me.<p>Congrats to SpaceX and thank you for not landing it on my house!
