Watched an Antares launch at night. Awesome! Arrived three hours before launch and parking was good but eventually did fill up. Viewing area was lit up so we could setup, launch control was playing and the rocket was across the marsh. At T-minus 10 the lights went out and the stars became brillant. At launch the sky lit up and the sound reached us about 30 seconds later. Watched through second stage flight before vehicle was no longer visible. A night I won't forget. Picked up a Wallops shirt from the museum.
