Bob what time was the launch? I was coming home from work this morning and thought I was a Very high Jet at 7am EST come zooming over the horizon from the south and then took a radial left turn towards the east and I lost it in the sunrise. I thought it might have been a fast mover from the Military doing a race track pattern, common up here in the NYC area ever since you know when

The Wallops launch was beautiful. I would say it got to a good 30 degrees above the horizon from up here in Baltimore, 115 miles away. A very impressive sight. I was on my roof with groggy wife, but it turned out to be well worth getting up for.

This means that in the future we can see it from 30 feet lower just as well sitting leisurely on the deck.

I'm sure my 30 degree estimation is prbably more like 20 degrees because they say that the human eye over estimates elevation angles, but still it was so high, it was well above the trees here in Baltimore, 115 miles from the launch pad.
