The 198,000-pound missile lifted off from the central California coast at 1:01 a.m. and sent nine unarmed re-entry vehicles toward a target 4,800 miles away on the Kwajalein Missile Range in the Marshall Islands

Is there any place with a schedule of launches at Vandenberg? I'd really like to go out and see a lift off someday. Its a heck of a lot closer than Cape Canaveral with its shuttle launches.

I love the smell of solid rocket fuel burning in the morning.

We saw a double launch from Vandenburg in the mid-80s when I was stationed at Nellis. We were sitting in the quad at the barracks and saw the trails going up way way off in the distance. Talk about scary first thoughts...
