#WGS8 Delta IV rocket by United Launch Alliance seen from pad (Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 37), lifting off. My thanks to fellow We, reporting space, Jared Haworth for constructing the amazing timed dew heater that certainly made this shot possible. Jared also lent me a stake to hold my remote camera (referred to as the SeeleyRemote(tm)) in place after I broke my stake.
