Thanks again to this amazing thing that is the Internet I was able to watch a real-time launch, from different angles including a couple of onboard cameras, of another NASA rocket from across the continent.<\/p>\n

This one was an Antares rocket, launched from their facility at Wallops Island, Virginia, delivering the Cygnus spacecraft on a demonstration resupply mission to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

I remember a time when the only way I could have seen any of this was as special effects in a movie. Now all I need is any device with an Internet connection.<\/p>\n
