Good evening.

After the Chicoms are able to land on the moon, they will quickly mine and colonize the surface.

Then they will militarize the battle space. They will have the high ground.

Then again, we may self destruct way before then...

I am about 90miles south of DC. I am going to go out and look for it, but I am guessing it will be below the trees.

It'll be interesting to know how well you can see it.

Looks like you’ll see the rocket about 40 secs after launch.

That is what I a thinking. I will watch the launch on TV then go out on the deck and look for it.

I saw a shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral while in Orlando. looked like a big bottle rocket. The next launch we drove to the space center and watched it from about seven miles away, much better view and remarkably loud.

Just saw it here in south jersey. Nice plume. My nephew’s watched it on the beach in Ocean City - far better view.

Too low in the horizon for me here. I wish I had gone in to work tonight. I could have seen it from the mountain, with out any trouble. I would have been 2k feet higher up and a clear view of all directions.

It is a very clear night out tonight however.

I heard one of the recaps, it sounded like they had
some problems but they have 21 days to figure them out.
Haven’t checked in today.
