I was with my wife and kids and her family (Mom. dad, sis-in-laws cousins etc.. about 14 of us in all) we were at a local Pizza joint for some Friday night Pizza. There were some TV's in the room and they flashed over to the launch.

The entire restaurant ran outside to see the launch. I actually tuned to look inside then around the parking lot and everyone was there. We are over 100 miles from the launch pad and everyone was outside to see it. So cool!!

All we could see was the initial flames and contrail then it went behind the clouds we had lingering here and that was it.

Pics to follow if I can get them out of my phone.
