See the Antares Rocket's 1st Night Launch from East Coastby Tariq Malik, SPACE.com Managing Editor | October 26, 2014 02:31pm ET
On Monday, Oct. 27, a private Antares rocket built by the commercial spaceflight company Orbital Sciences will launch the Orb-3 cargo mission for NASA to the International Space Station.
Full Story: How to See the Antares Rocket's First Night Launch. The launch is set for 6:45 p.m. EDT (2245 GMT) and it should be visible to potentially millions of skywatchers along the U.S. East Coast, weather permitting. The rocket will blast off from a pad at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia. See the visibility map below (directions of view are in bold) to learn how to spot the rocket streak into space:

I could have launched a rocket farther than that. Instead of giving NASA all those billions of dollars they should give it to me instead.
