Ralph, Is this the first launch to orbit from Wallops? If so, isnt that a major event?
I havent heard anything about it. Last attempt to reach orbit from Wallops (about 100 miles from here) I was able to stand on my roof and watch it go up... Then down... In flames.
Anyway, we will be watching! Bob, WB4APR
