Do you know if Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral FL sent something up Tuesday morning? I can't find anything about it.

I was driving down i95 when I saw what I first thought was a shooting star, then I thought plane. But it kept getting brighter and brighter. It turned toward the ocean and that's when I could see fire or sparks, but then it looked like a comet.

Here's a few pics I took, kind of crappy, but hard to hold a cell phone and take pictures while driving.

@OP
Of course he doesn't. Syntax won't give you any information that you couldn't find yourself by googling.

Thanks Anon D, I must have been typing in something wrong, or not looking hard enough. I was on my way to Miami when I saw it.

And it was Wednesday morning, I don't know why I keep thinking Tuesday morning.

i have a cousin that works for nasa. he has a great hiring story.
hint: if you're ever doing contract work for nasa and they bring you on site to do any kind of work you're likely being vetted. be cool, and regardless of what happens just don't stress out and always maintain your composure and a professional attitude.
