Rocket Launch 9/6 NASA Wallops VA

11:27 PM EST LADEE moon mission launchs from Virginia

If you are lucky enough to live close this can be visible and IMO damn cool to watch. I was able to see a launch from Wallops on a mountain top here in central PA a few years back!

Mission info
Minotaur V

Good Luck viewing. If I wasnt going to a star party I would just drive down

This is still happening and quickly approaching! just a heads up. It will be quite impressive if you live close, but still cool to see from hundreds of miles away.

I would update this on the day of but Iam heading into the woods without WiFi or cell service.

Sorry I was to far away and my camera couldn't even see it.
For me it was just a fast-moving red dot.
But I would have if I could have.
