Huh.  So that's what a Vandenberg launch looks like.

Crystal clear day on the California Coast.  We got to watch the rocket
lift over some dorms and then appear to curve south and west on its way
up.  There was only a contrail for a small bit--we may have missed it if
we hadn't reckoned where Vandenberg is.

Can you make the Space Shuttle fly by again too?
