It probably will be.  I'm actually thinking of making a trip to Santa Monica, and seeing if I can watch it from the pier.  It was really a trip to see, and I missed the first one that lit up the sky even more spectacularly than this last one.

Nov 29 is a TBD.  Military Delta 4 heavy rocket.  All the other ones are in the morning that is scheduled out of Vandenberg so far.

Screw that.  I'd buy it to go on benders to Vegas.  Then buzz the tower on the way back.

Wednesday launch got postponed.  New launch is Sunday at 10:32 AM.  

I'm going hiking on Sunday.  Might watch the launch from the top of San Gabriel Peak.  Although 10:30 might be a little late.  Maybe at the top of the second peak I'm hoping for, Mt. Lowe.

Won't be as dramatic.  But if the sky's are clear like I'm hoping it will be after a rain.  It might still be a sight to see.

Watched the launch from the top of San Gabriel peak.  Nothing special.  Just looked like a com trail in the sky.  When I get the video sorted out I'll post it.

That's just awesome.   I'm sure the SJW's disapprove.

What is amazing is their ability to make the dog house in such a way that it was capable of flight.
