A moon-bound NASA rocket was launched successfully Friday evening from Virginia's Wallops Island. The launch was visible over a wide stretch of the east coast; YouTube videos are beginning to show up. The robotic probe, to study lunar dust, is the first rocket launched into outer space from the Virginia launch site.

    Well, you have the first Orbital Sciences Antares [orbital.com] launch to resupply the ISS, currently scheduled for September 17. That is a bigger rocket I believe and also should be quite a show.

    Orbital's Antares team is targeting a launch time of 11:16 a.m., which is at the opening of an available 15-minute launch window.
