Oh yeah, rockets.

Figured you should all be aware. There is a rocket being launched in Virginia in 30 minutes. You're supposedly able to see it on the east coast.

So unless the 29 satellites onboard are actually EMPs, don't freak out.

And if they are, freak out.

Saw it. It was neat. Even saw a bit of a tail.

Now if I could find ISON after 7:00 pm so I could show people - that would be dandy.

looked, all i saw was the moon

I was confusing a lot of air traffic for the rocket - until I saw the tail.

This explains what I saw last night when I was taking the dog out. It was neat.

Wish I knew. Caught a launch down in Florida awhile back and it was pretty cool.

It wasn't spectacular - I mean, I was in the middle of a busy flight path so it just looked like a plane that changed course and then turned it's lights off.
