Some interesting pics for you folks. Took these a little over 30 mins ago from one of the parking lots near the flightline/C-17 hangars. This is the first launch of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner capsule that will carry astronauts/cargo/etc to the ISS. Capsule is sitting atop an Atlas V rocket. Mind you, Kennedy Space Center/Cape Canaveral, Fl is a little over 350 miles from me at Robins AFB. The rocket exhaust and contrail was just as visible as it could be from this distance. Wish the pics could’ve done it more justice. You can see the Atlas V rocket and Boeing capsule out in front of the exhaust/contrail in a couple of pics. Pic order is a little screwy, but you get the gist.
