Sonic booms heard across Space Coast during SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch
Original: LISTEN: Sonic booms on Space Coast during SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch
A SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch from Florida's Space Coast produced loud sonic booms heard across the region, with WESH broadcasting audio of the rumbles. Sonic booms occur when the rocket's boosters reenter the atmosphere after separating from the vehicle. Residents along the coast are accustomed to such sounds during frequent launches from Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral.
Why now: SpaceX launches regularly draw attention in Florida, and the audible sonic booms make the event noticeable to the public.
