ependydad...Doug 176 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 At 6:40 tonight, there will be a launch from Wallops that should be visible. At around 6:49 (for me, at least) the international space station should also be visible. Pretty neat if timing works out to see both! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ependydad...Doug 176 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah. I was watching it live but didn't know that it was unmanned. That was sickening. I was so relieved to find out it was unmanned. I hate the cost and loss of equipment- but glad that there was no loss of life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
