A couple of Freepers computed the horizon as being 62 miles away from an altitude of 2500 ft, and 42 miles away from an altitude of 1500 ft.

I computed the width of any conceivable rocket launch blast zone AT 35 miles away as being 3300 ft. That would yield a very large area where the sonic boom would knock the windows out of buildings in Los Angeles AND damage the hearing of people closer in, and possibly even sink boats!

Lots of things DID NO HAPPEN if this "largest rocket take off" in history had occurred.

To compare, 3300 feet white is about the size of the fireball from 750 kiloton nuclear explosion.

When I used to fly, one of the coolest things I ever saw was a plane heading towards us, slightly lower. It was the tiniest dot for the longest time followed by a HUGE contrail, billowing and puttering behind it. It was almost comical how tiny the plane looked in comparison.

What is the “largest rocket take off” stuff all about....
I never said that.
I believe we did a test. The FAA, NORAD, nor the Pentagon said anything. I sure am glad you have all the facts.
