APOD 1.3

A couple of weeks ago on September 6, people on the east coast of the United States were able to see the launch of the Minotaur V rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallop's Island, Virginia. It is planned to orbit the moon after some minor adjustments to it's course. I chose this photo because I have experienced a shuttle launch from Cape Caneveral's Kennedy Space Center so this picture is very recognizable.
