A crazy zoomed in (hence the blurry) LADEE and it's rocket sitting on the launchpad during the countdown

Our view of the launch facility (the lights in the distance) from our campsite

LADEE taking off (as you can tell, I had no idea how bright it was going to be!)

LADEE passing overhead with booster #2 ignition

LADEE with a smoke trail

LADEE headed into the distance with a crowd of onlookers in the foreground

Eric, Kaitlin and myself, all pumped up post-launch

fun times...

A timelapse of the stars whizzing by over the launch site

Our campsite view of Chincoteague Island in the morning. Chincoteague, VA.

Eric is sleepy

Our simple, yet great campsite

We swung by Wallops Flight Facility and got a personal tour of the C-130 that's headed up to Greenland in a couple of weeks for an LVIS mission

Eric enjoying the C-130

Out with Sam in DC later that night

so. happy.
