Finally it happened, after several attempts there was a successful launch.   The Five NASA rockets launched early this morning , the first rocket launched at 4:58 AM and the last rocket launched at 5:02AM EST.


The shot below was taken in NJ, the wisps of clouds are from the chemical tracer left by the rockets, which was used to study the high altitude jet stream
