The G+ Story created from my trip with +Lori Hibbett to see the NASA Orion EFT-1 launch last month.
If you'd like to see a launch tomorrow, NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive mission (SMAP) launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, is scheduled for 6:20 a.m. PST (9:20 a.m. EST) Friday, Jan. 30, with a three-minute launch window. The launch of the United Launch Alliance/Delta II rocket was scrubbed Thursday due to a violation of upper-level wind constraints. Launch managers have initiated a 24-hour recycle. The weather forecast for this launch window shows a 90 percent chance of favorable conditions.

After your high tech drama of the launch, +Jeff Sullivan , take a pause at La Purisima Mission near Lompoc - http://www.lapurisimamission.org/ - while you're in the neighborhood. I discovered it years ago when my now 30-year old son had it for his 4th or 5th grade class project, and we spent a chilly, rainy, winter day there. It has a wonderful sense of "quiet" in strong contrast to the grander missions like Carmel, San Fernando, San Juan Capistrano, San Diego, etc.
Wow, such beautiful memories from that day! Seeing your photos of the Orion launching into space put a huge smile on my face! ❤☺
Great Story +Jeff Sullivan Thanks for sharing.
