I came on Wallops Island VA for the Antares launch at noon on January 8th.
I've checked the news before I go, there was nothing about a cancellation.
There were a lot of people like me, who came with whole family from as far as Richmond VA.
Here is what I've seen then. That is
 |
| Launch pad with Antares Cygnus rocket |
 |
| Bridge to the Wallops Island |
Because there was no launch e went to Space Port Info center/museum
There were some older models of rockets
Two planes were in training nearby
They were training landing on a Carrier
Even it was about 25 degrees, weather was wonderful and I enjoyed view of the moon.
Here I am on January 9th. I was the first one who came to the spot.

 |
| Pilots also checked our spot too |
 |
| Cars were parked down the road |
 |
| Whole crowd is about couple of hundred people |
 |
| Moon is little bit off of launch pad today. |
 |
| Trying to get picture through my telescope |
 |
| And here is the launch |
 |
| Birds just realized that something is going on. |
 |
| In just a few minutes rocket was already in space |
