Rocket

Last night at 8:45 there was a rocket launch at the Kennedy Space Center. We were able to go out in our backyard and witness it! It was pitch dark so it was very easy to spot it. With a pair of binoculars you could see the rocket in great detail. It was odd to observe the trajectory. From our vantage point it looked like the rocket ascended at about a 40 degree angle. I’m sure it has to do with the fact the KSC is some 300 miles away. Regardless, it was awesome to see. Within a couple minutes the rocket looked like just another star in the sky.
