    Launch madness will hit the east coast in March as NASA launches five rockets in approximately five minutes to study the high-altitude jet stream from its Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Full story at link below. Those rings in the pic indicate the areas where people will be able to see the rockets in the sky.

    NASA has rescheduled the launch of five suborbital sounding rockets from the Wallops Facility to... Friday March 23, 2012, midnight to 3 a.m.

    It's happening at night because the tracer chemicals blown into the atmosphere react with the oxegen and glow for better visibility. We should see glowing clouds.

    Hey, I'm surprized nobody here reacted with "Chem Trail" or weather control conspiracies. I like your idea of tricking your wife. Keep us posted on how that worked out. :)

    NASA Prepares for Next Solar Mission
    June 05, 2013, WASHINGTON — The U.S. space agency NASA is preparing to launch a new mission to study the sun. The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, or IRIS, will observe the way solar material gathers energy and heats up as it moves through the sun's lower atmosphere.
