Kepler Launch: An Eyewitness Report

We watched the Kepler launch from the beach at Jetty Park, just south of Port Canaveral. People stopped by the park in the late afternoon to pick up parking passes and watch the gantry being pulled back. Some had stopped by earlier in the week to watch the first and second stages of the Delta II rocket assembly. At twilight brilliant white floodlights came up to illuminate the rocket on the launch pad.
