Anyone catch this tonight? I stood on top of a hill 400' above sea level just north of San Francisco and didn't see a thing. I've seen launches from Vandenberg before and they can be quite spectacular, if only for a few short seconds.

Hiking in 30 degree weather and standing out in the cold for nothing tonight.

Check in if you saw it and from where.

Dang, had just come in from my evening walk just before launch, so I missed it. :(

I saw it from Simi Valley CA. The plume was red in color and faded toward white just before main stage cutoff, The trajectory was south from Vanderberg AFB. I never saw the second stage fire.
