Very cool to see. Two minutes later, it is going 14,000 miles per hour and is no longer visible. Just wow.

It was cool to see. Reminded me of Cape Canaveral (as they called it then). I was in Florida, inland some but we could still see the amazing sight. I watched this tonite about 50 miles from Wallops.

Visible part way through stage I until stage III from Virginia Beach. Very cool moving ball of light given the implications.

I watched from out driveway in Salisbury. I went outside as soon as it launched. It was a truly amazing sight.
