Has this gone up yet? Do you think it will be very visible from the Orlando/ Central Florida area (if viewed from a hill or good shuttle viewing spot)?

Probably won't be able to update until after launch. Press Site has very bad cell coverage.

Not yet. No chance of seeing anything from Florida at all*. It's launching from California and heading West.
*There is another launch tonight which should be visible from Florida. See
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=21122.0That is an Atlas V, which will launch from Cape Canaveral about ten minutes before midnight GMT (20:00 EDT), and head East South East.

You've already managed more than we could have hoped for via official channels, and we have a target T-0 now, so thanks again!

Only if you jump really high. I suggest using a trampoline.

Although there are clouds around VAFB, its not the really heavy stuff with rain. They often launch through fog, so the weather may cooperate today.

Please tell us about those hills in Central Florida.

The scheduled T-0 has come and gone. Hopefully we'll get some word on whether launch has occurred or not soon. Otherwise there are still a couple of hours left in the window.
A local (to Vandenberg) news agency reported that it was still on schedule about eight minutes before the scheduled T-0.

Please tell us about those hills in Central Florida.
They have scales and are called alligators.
Standing on them is not advised.

The central area of the state, around Clermont and up toward Gainesville, has some very nice hills, actually. Geological, not biological, hills.

Hey, guys - did the California sunset appearance tonight have anything to do with the Minotaur launch?

Official VAFB photo. Looks like Minotaur 4 is white, just like the pathfinder.
