Lift-off!
Posted by Bear900/CA of CA on 3/1/17 12:36pm Msg #28394
Stepped outside just in time to see the Atlas V rocket lift-off from Vandenberg AFB just south of here about 10:00am. A minute or so after came a deep rumble that could be felt and as well as heard. Amazing how powerful those engines are!

Fast forward about 35 minutes to see the actual lift off:

Not to be out-done was the lift-off of the Titan 5L Pep-Boys brand car cover from my car last night in wind gusts of 55 mph.

The geo-guidance system was not working properly and it had flown down the block, made a left turn and down that block some more, hanging up on a telephone cable box in front of a house that just vacated yesterday. Otherwise it would surely be a furniture cover by now.

Both launches were successful!
