October 7: Falcon 9 Launch at Vandenberg AFB

The Vandenberg range is about 115 miles west of here, and the mountaintop park on the west side of town makes an ideal place to watch them go.  I could watch as the Space-X rocket ascended into the sunlight, then its first stage return to the base after separation.
On ascent
First stage is that spot of light at 3:00
Oh, and my buddy Paul could see this launch from Phoenix, which is pretty cool.
