The launch will be at 8:29pm and should be visible for 150 miles from the launch site. I have often seen the contrails but tomorrow I'm going to try to see the rocket flame..

Edit to reflect the use of a Atlas V, and NOT a Saturn V rocket.. duh!!!!

1. What the heck are they launching with that?
That's a hell of a lot of power.

2. Crap, my brain WANTED to see a Saturn V, but in reality it will be a Atlas V launch.
Sorry about the screw up.
