The capitalized “Black.” That must count for something.

But it needs a white booster to actually get it off the ground.

They’re obviously afraid Israel might retaliate if they Launch the Rocket.

If you are near the East coast you should be able to see a cloud of Barium that is going to be released. It won't be visible for long so catch it while you can.

Look in the direction of Norfolk if you live within a few hundred miles of there. The rocket should be going up any minute now.

Well now I guess not - will be no launching of rockets due to some clouds.

There's a cloud in Bermuda - therefore no launch.

I once saw what I thought was a rocket trail early in the morning. Turns out it was a once in a lifetime event, it was the trail of a meteor that exploded near Phoenix.
