    Can a friend see my laser in a clear night sky from 2 miles away?

    I ordered a optotronics 40+mw green laser pointer and I'm just wondering, can my friend who lives about two miles away see my laser pointer in sky if I shoot it directly up into a clear night sky? How far away can person be away for them to be able to see it? Thanks
