LADEE rocket launch!!!!
« on: September 06, 2013, 10:59:27 PM »
Who watched the rocket launch from Wallops Flight Facility.
I live 80 miles or so south and that launch was awesome. The horizon was glowing as the rocket neared the horizon and BAM!!!! there it was bright as a street lamp! You could even see the booster separations...

This was my first rocket launch and for Fud Jr!!!!

I was in the 100 second range, but a friend of mine about 35 miles North of me reported it at +10! I watched for about 3 minutes and gave up. We had scattered clouds.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Good to see these old ICBMs finally being useful.
