[NASA] The FAA-AST commercial licensed Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport was all "GO" [video] Saturday morning as the Minotaur 1 roared through the dawn sky over the Eastern Shore with an on-time and picture perfect lift-off. The launch marked the first flight from the commercial launch pad operated by the Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority. Congratulations Dr. Billie Reed! [See Slide Show] The launch was sighted as far away as Norton, Va. over 400-miles west of Wallops Island this morning.

Comment was this was seen from 400 miles away. I have pictures from Rootstown, Ohio (between Youngstown and Akron) of what we thought was a meteor, but as it turns out may have been this rocket launch. Awesome sight nonetheless!
It would be great if you could share the picture Robert.
Godspeed! I wish I could have been there to see it. :-(
Perhaps I should consider moving to Virginia, or any other space port friendly state.
Thanks Jack for posting this!
