VANDENBERG, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> Tonight’s launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base appears to be on schedule for 10:20pm tonight weather permitting. Start looking towards the west-northwest direction. The vehicle will probably head towards the south-southwest direction after liftoff. If the sky is clear you may see in the IE and the high desert. If you see it, a orange glow trail in the sky going up.
This mission is to smashing into an asteroid. They are trying to learn “how to deflect a threat that would come” toward Earth, NASA said. You will not see the asteriod impact in the sky.
