Missile launch today?

[pooh]

From the Cape.....big Atlas rocket! Have seen time for launch listed as sometime between 8:51 and 9:35. Anyone have more up to date info?

Might be able to see from TV if all is still a GO...:)

Managed to see the launch from my front yard. Not quite as spectacular as a shuttle launch, but still exciting.

Pic shows the narrow contrail. Hope some of you had a chance to view.
