Light showers were around the Cape this morning with a low cloud deck — this rocket more or less disappeared after about 15-20 seconds.

Photo was taken at the Banana Creek bridge on FL 528 near Port Canaveral.

I'm a NASA kid originally from Cocoa Beach, FL, born of Project Apollo. My family worked for NASA and/or their contractors, and I watched it all as a kid. And what kid doesn't like rockets? Currently, I am an IT engineer, a recovered R&D scientist that spent time in laser metrology, fiber optic applications and also lightning protection. I'm also a photographer, a writer and a bad musician. My favorite things are space, boating, sports, music and traveling. You can find me on Twitter as @TheOldManPar.
