CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla — So, what would it have been like to be at “ground zero” during the launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Dragon spacecraft? This video demonstrates the power of the Falcon. Turn up your volume and experience the fury of launch.

This was the second launch under NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-2) contract. SpaceX was awarded $1.6 billion to conduct 12 resupply flights to the International Space Station.
