If anyone is a fan of Star Trek Next Generation or Deep Space Nine you'll understand why this made me laugh.
I was watching the launch on CNN and Wolf Blitzer started talking to an aviation analyst named... Miles O'Brien =) Don't tell me we've slipped into the mirror universe again :o :p

It was cloudy here in Florida but I saw it come through the clouds and followed it on a northern track. Shock wave grew with speed.

Yep, Watched it from my backyard as well. Amazing color at night.

I am about 90 miles away, I just go to a location that allows view, like a field with few trees close up. Use binoculars and wait for launch, Usually I can see the light from first ignition. This launch had low clouds from my perspective and I didn't see it until it was at high altitude. But then I could follow it easily. Then at when it gets faster you can see a shock wave coming off it.

You can drive to about 5 miles away and that would be an awesome view.
