Rocket launch from Vandenberg. Used to be somewhat common but this was the first I've seen in many years. AND.. it was historic. It's mission is to destroy and asteroid!!!

I also got lucky... I didn't know about it and had just gone to bed when I saw on Twitter: "Launch at 10:21". It was 10:20... I SCREAMED at my family "NOW... NOW OUTSIDE... didn't even have time to explain... got outside and it went up. - JamesJM
