Nice waste of a boatload of $ in this economy.


WHoa!
IT looked like a good launch. I have seen quite a few of the launches and it
had a smooth look to it.

It started as a really bright red dot that travels upward and to the south.
The first stage flickered off and then the second stage kicked in and it disappeared into the southern sky.

THere is a comet that's visible for the next week or so, would you take that in trade?
