Living in philly, I wonder if we'd be able to see it with the light pollution and all. We shall see.

Saw it from our house in rural central PA! Looked like a shooting star going up into the sky. Really cool!

We saw the space launch in the morning a few years back all the way from Berks County SE Pa. First rocket launch I'd ever seen. We could tell it wasn't a jet by its straight up trajectory but didn't know at the time just what it was or where it came from. Then we saw in the news it was launched from Virginia, which is cool.
I had to work that night so I didn't get to see it.

We watched from Beltzville Lake's boat launch near Lehighton in Carbon County. I was afraid that it wouldn't be very visible because of the distance, but it was quite clear. When it first came up over the horizon and trees you could actually see the outline of the rocket shape.
