Neat!
I was chillin' on the balcony with my brother and just saw a rocket blast off from Cape Canaveral!
So I Googled it up, and this is what I got:

Delta 4 launches from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base

The first rocket launch of the year took place on Thursday at 7:38 p.m. from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.
The Delta 4 rocket is on a $464 million mission, carrying a military satellite into orbit that will help troops and unmanned aerial drones in the Middle East, officials said.
Retired launch director Ernie Baldini said the end of the shuttle program has left unmanned launches to fill the void for spectators.
"Before, with unmanned we didn't get as many unmanned launches because there's no more shuttles," Baldini said.
Even though the Delta 4 was carrying a state-of-the-art communications satellite for the military, spectators on the ground said it was the closest thing there was to the heyday of the American space program.

ISS Passes Over Stormy Africa (w/Milky Way)

I just found this video somewhere and just had to share it! It's the International Space Station passing over Africa, from Niger to the South Indian Ocean.

Wishing I was an astronaut!

This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken December 29, 2011 from 20:55:05 to 21:14:09 GMT, on a pass from over central Africa, near southeast Niger, to the South Indian Ocean, southeast of Madagascar. The complete pass is over southern Africa to the ocean, focusing on the lightning flashes from local storms and the Milky Way rising over the horizon.

The Milky Way can be spotted as a hazy band of white light at the beginning of the video. The pass continues southeast toward the Mozambique Channel and Madagascar. The Lovejoy Comet can be seen very faintly near the Milky Way. The pass ends as the sun is rising over the dark ocean.
