It wasn't as fantastic as other Vandenberg launches I've seen over the years when I lived in Southern California. I remember one launch made at dusk in the late 80s that left a magnificent giant winding trail behind it that stopped traffic on the 60 freeway.

Back then, the nation was still fearful of a Soviet missile attack. ;)

Are you up North now? I was glued to the computer, watching and listening to NASA TV. I wish I'd sneaked outside for a look up at the sky, although with all the city lights, probably wouldn't have seen much.
