From Virginia. Many on east coast can possibly see it, from Main to Florida and inland as far as Michigan, where I'll be watching from!

This one? Weird hold related, I guess, to data loss.

Well the launch was fun to watch but when I ran outside I didn't see anything. The skies are pretty clear too.
That was really cool, c172. Thanks for pointing that site out to me. I am an astronomy nerd, and I didn't know ULA had a launch stream. Now I do, and I will have to invent excuses not to go out with my lady so I can watch launches.
Hope there's no more RF telemetry drop outs, that was almost anti-climactic. RE: ROCKET LAUNCH IN 3 MINUTES!

I just find it impressive that those people do know what's happening, or could be happening, and can speak sp fluently in that language. Also, I miss dressing up in a nice shirt and tie. It's a good look for a guy. T-3min, finallly.

DAMMIT I WAS AT WORK!! ;___;
I kind of had an ADD moment around T-:05, and started staring into space and somewhat missed the actual launch. But hey. Replays.

I think the launch in the link was delayed because it took off on the NASA channel around 9:33 PM EST but when I went to link about 10 minutes afterward the rocket was still being prepared. 
It is a great news that rocket is launching in 3 minutes. It is the result of fast technology, which is growing in the world rapidly.
