Watch incredible moment rocket is launched into space above Orlando City stadium during MLS clash against Montreal
THE incredible moment a rocket launched into space above Orlando City’s stadium during an MLS match was captured on TV.
Fans watching Orlando’s game with Montreal saw the historic Space X launch on Wednesday night.
Space X launched the Inspiration4 from the Kennedy Space Center and made it the first-ever orbital flight crewed only by tourists.
The space centre is around an hour away from Orlando’s Exploria Stadium on Florida’s Atlantic coast.
But the rocket could be seen during the game from the stands — which made sensational viewing during the first half.
The match continued as normal throughout, and for Monreal fans the sight only got better.
They ended up winning 4-2 to take them to third in the Eastern Conference.
Sitting eighth, six points behind but with one game in hand is David Beckham’s upstart Inter Miami side.
