150 and change for me... 120 for J

My high point is about 400 feet elevation so it's not a mountaintop. I can see the top third of the tallest Philly buildings, at about 50 feet elevation, 18 miles away. Some of that is blocked by terrain I think.



edit: added link to high point

There goes launch pad 0A. They have a couple more launch pads, but I don't think any of them are set up for these Antares launches. It will likelytake some time to fix 0A or set up one of the others.

I timed my trip home so that I was going over Commodore Barry Bridge at 6:24. Even at 220', I saw nuttin. It was very cloudy.

And Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo just blew up mid flight.

This is pure speculation, but I'm going to throw it out there.

Russian or Chinese hackers did this to both of them.

Don't forget NASA's early days when everything blew up.

Or Bond supervillain Elon Musk!

If SpaceX were public stock, it would be going up right now.
