Sun Times News readers were among the many spectators who were in Florida for spring break and turned their eyes skyward April 1 as the Artemis II rocket launched from Kennedy Space Center, with several local families capturing and sharing their views of the historic moment from beaches along Florida’s coast. Thanks to everyone who shared their photos.
