LADEE Launch from Westminster

The LADEE launch was fantastic!  Joan and I (and Lucy the dog) were treated to a really cool event from the hilltop parking lot of CrossLife Bible Church. Well, I'm not sure Lucy enjoyed it as much as we did :)

Here are some photos:

 Bright red-orange from the 1st stage booster ... although not visible in
this photo you could see a short tail of flame rippling from the glowing spot. 

 Later, LADEE is seen climbing and then ignition of next stage. I think
this is stage three but not sure.

Last minute or so.
