Rocket launch tonight
 
Late notice, but if your are reading this you are already awake beyond the usual Villages bedtime. SpaceX launch scheduled for 1:25 AM which will be visible in the SE sky if overnight clearing of our skies takes place. That is iffy.

AsiaSat 8 | Falcon 9 Satellite Launch on Livestream

is an online site to see the action beginning at 1:10 AM. Once the launch occurs it takes a few seconds before you will see the rocket's fire trail from your yard.

Launch aborted inside one minute. Recycling back to ten minutes while they attempt to fix whatever triggered the abort.

Was standing outside for the aborted liftoff and back in bed sleeping when it finally did. But thanks for the notification.

Well, at 4 AM there was a spectacular liftoff. The skies were clear and quiet, the stars twinkled. "Then my eyes were pierced by the trail of a rocket's light, that split the night, " Apologies to S & G. Next night launch is scheduled for 1 AM on the 26th
