If we launch at Kim, it’ll be headed west.California wrote:I'm not going to lie, while the kids were going crazy talking about how cool it is I thought we were bringing freedom to Lil Kim and started getting scared what caused it
I could tell that it was Vandenburg though just because of the general direction

NK I probably northwest from Vandenberg thoughGrumpyCatFace wrote:If we launch at Kim, it’ll be headed west.California wrote:I'm not going to lie, while the kids were going crazy talking about how cool it is I thought we were bringing freedom to Lil Kim and started getting scared what caused it

Re: Space X Launch (Crony Capitalism At Work)
Vandenberg is in Cali, and that video was shot in Phoenix. Plus, orbital launches almost ALWAYS go east, to take advantage of the earths rotation. I don’t think it was heading west, unless it was a very unusual launch indeed.California wrote:That is heading west; I guess a bit southwest judging on where my house sits.

You’re facing the sunset, and it appears to be going to the left and towards you. That’s southeast.California wrote:My pictures in the OP are from my house in Huntington Beach, CA.

Re: Space X Launch (Crony Capitalism At Work)
Vandenberg can launch south, west, and north. If you want to put a satellite into a proper orbit efficiently, you need to launch from the east coast or risk raining down scrap metal on suburbs in the even to failure.
If you want to drop a warhead on North Korea from the Californian coast, you launch north.

Which is why I’m so surprised they’re firing off from the west coast.Speaker to Animals wrote:Vandenberg can launch south, west, and north.
