Space X launch 12/08/18 at 8:06 pm

Don't forget to watch the night sky tonight if you live in southern California, should be a good one. Vandenberg AFB will launch a Delta IV Heavy rocket at 8:06

I remember those dazzling shots when I lived in LA.
Now, in the San Diego area we can still see them.
Thanks for the 'heads up'.

Just to Clarify.
Tonights Launch from Vandenberg is a ULA Launch, not Spacex.
It is a United Launch Alliance Delta 4-Heavy • NROL-71, which should be quite a dramatic light show.
If I could be anywhere to see it, I would be there..

I went out into the Mohave Desert and watched a space shuttle land once. BANG...ZIP....Over! I decided then and there that outer space is a waste of time and money. Inner space is where it's at.

You can follow the pre launch activities here. Last night's scrub was a good thing for me. Nothing but clouds, despite a clear forecast. Tonight is cloudless! This should be an awesome sight. Largest launch vehicle to ever fly from the West coast, I believe. (Correct me if I am wrong on that one?)
Eyes on the skies.
