Peacekeeper Indeed
Just walked out into the front yard and watched the flight of a Peacekeeper Intercontinental Ballistic Missile launched from Vandenberg AFB.
It is an amazing thing to see a ICBM shooting through the night sky. At 180 miles away it was clearly visible and left a substantial trail through the cloudless sky. I want to see the next one from a closer vantage point.
And I want to sleep tonight with the peace that accompanies such a site. After all, this one was a test launch, it wasn't armed. Impressive still.
Update: Here's the first press coverage post-launch.
