California is the place to be on Monday.

Launch dates and times are given in Pacific Time using a 24-hour format (midnight = 00:00, 1:00 p.m. = 13:00, 11:00 p.m. = 23:00, etc.).

JUN 29 03:01-09:01 Minuteman III---Vehicle will send three unarmed warheads on a ballistic trajectory to Kwajalein in the central Pacific

With the exception of Minuteman III launches, launch dates are fluid and tend to change over time. Minuteman III is not suseptable to weather or other delays. Minuteman III will launch at its earliest launch window.

Is this a sign to NK?

The first launch I ever saw was when I was jogging along the beach near Vandenberg (a Titan, IIRC). Really, really awesome...if anybody can go it really is worth your time.

I can't stay up then.

I did however watch a shuttle re-entry towards Edwards. Can't mistake it for anything natural.

You should see a shuttle launch here in Florida I live a good 80 miles from the Cape and you can farily well see it go up as well as the unmanned rockets they also send out of the cape from time to time.

The ones at dusk are the best. I saw one from about 40 miles away just as the sun set it was sweet.I have tried to go to the public area at Kennedy Space Center to see one up close but I must be bad luck for them each time they scrubed the mission when I was there.I saw the Challenger at school back in 1986 I was about 10 at the time the entire school was outside to watch it it got all the media(before the accident) because it had the woman who was a teacher on it NASA picked her though i think it was Regans idea for NASA to pick a teacher.

You are all very lucky, this is something I have always wanted to see

I think the message to NK will be something along the lines of...."Our systems are deadly accurate and never fail to arrive at their intended destination!!"

I am not sure what NKs deal is they have far inferior systems than we.They can launch a missile to show where they will be in 10 years from now. We could launch one that would destroy where they are now in seconds.
