Rocket launch out of wallops!

[Marlin]

I know this is short notice, about 4 minutes. ROcket launch out of wallops, VA, should be visible all down the eastern seaboard and quite a ways inland. I am 100 miles away, clear skies, gonna be awesome!

Thanks for the post.

Sorry short notice. It was awesome! I can't believe how fast it was. The shuttle was really slow. We had a great view right out of our front yard.

Try as I did, simply could not see it from my house. The horizon view had just enough trees I guess to shutter the visible angle.

I didn't try last night since we failed so miserably on the previous launch.

Had the opportunity to see the early morning STS-102 launch years ago. The type of thing everyone should try to witness at least once at some point in their life.

Agreed. I lived in Sattelite Beach when I was a kid & got to watch some of the Apollo lift off's. Really impressive.

I was at Cape Canaveral in 1990 and got to see the Shuttle launch from the Causeway and also come in on the 747, we were in the stands as it came down and it taxied by, that was some great views.
