Neat.? That explains why I didn't
find anything on the Wallops web site...? EVEN more impressive
that we were able to see a Florida launch.
Can/do you want to use YouTube
??? Send to YouTube, give Phil the link ?? one option.? (not
sure how copyright works on YouTube or if your video is assumed
your copyright)

Phil, this morning I found out that what we saw
last night was actually a SpaceX rocket, one of several,
launched from Florida. It was an amazing sight seeing it rise
over the tree line and across the field. I took a short video
before it went below the tree line again, but this forum won't
let me share it here due to file size. Please tell me how to get
it to you.?

Yes, the pavilion has a few power outlets. And also the cellular signal is quite good. It may however depend on your carrier. Mine is T-Mobile.
