Thank you for the answer. I didn't know I could view it from here in Toronto!

These are planes flying over your house.

Yeah, the Toronto area was inside the visibility circle of a launch from there about 120 seconds or so after liftoff...
It's surprising how far away you can see those things...
I mean they are going into orbit so it takes a LOT of distance for the curvature of the earth to block the view of an orbital launch...

Man Wallops has a hard time making launch windows...
The weather around here is just too unpredictable...

Yeah I just saw that...They were aiming for a 4pm window today so I just figured it went...
Didn't know they scrubbed it again...
Wallops sure does have trouble launching on schedule...
The weather around here sucks...lol
