Ironically, I'll miss this because I'll be on the way home from a meeting of the Portland State Aerospace Society, where (if the appropriate students can be dragooned) I'll be advising on reaction wheel control for a Microsat.
Is it going to fare better than the recent Russian launch?

Are you still going to be able to attend GSSC?

Oddly enough, our NW weather should be good enough to actually see the stars and any rocket launch from the West Coast. Lovely Fall weather here this week, sometimes comes with morning fog, but it usually burns off by 10am. y1 Steve

Not unless it slips to next week, blows up, or goes in the ocean.

I did the same not long ago for SBIRS block II. 3 wheels or 4?

Sorry, we will miss seeing you.

Agreed, ohh . . . and your Antique plane

I watched a night shuttle launch from Holly Hill (Daytona)...about 70 miles. It was spectacular. Surprising that it didn't appear to go straight up, instead seeming to go out of sight at about 60*.
I have seen two launches from here on the west coast of Florida….they appear to go in a gentle arc to the right. Way col stuff!

Four. I was talking to the group responsible for getting each motor to spin on command.

All OK, I will let you know if we are successful in 14 years...
