The rocket is a little over 125 feet tall. Weather is perfect.

If you are awake, there's a live NASA TV broadcast via web stream right now showing a Delta II Rocket on the launch pad about to be launched from Vandenburg Air Force Base. I have a slow dial-up ISP yet the picture is great.

Hummmm...was going to bed, maybe I'll wait and go outside and see if I can spot it. The twilight launches are pretty spectacular from this location.

Bummer, they scrubbed the launch for this morning. They have a red alarm on one of their systems, and the people talking on NASA TV don't specifically know why.

Fox and Friends reporting it has been scrubbed for 24 hrs. because of battery problems. Have some coffee.
