You wouldn’t happen to know which direction it’s traveling? North or South along the coast? I know it’s going up...

“”You wouldn’t happen to know which direction it’s traveling? North or South along the coast? I know it’s going up...””

As far as I can recall, all launches from VAFB go south, because they go out over the ocean in that direction. North would put the Bay Area and most of the West Coast into the potential impact zone if the thing doesn’t go right. It’s really too bad that they never got a chance to launch the Shuttle from there.

Usually South to Southwest.

I believe they typically fly southward down the coast....
