I drove 10 hours to watch a rocket launch and it was glorious

NEW YORK — It’s not every day you watch a rocket streak into space over Virginia’s Eastern Shore, acing its first-ever liftoff from American soil.

That was the sight I beheld this week after a long, long drive from my home in northern New Jersey outside of New York City to NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia, to watch Rocket Lab’s Electron booster make its inaugural U.S. launch. It takes 5 hours to get to Wallops from my house without traffic. It also takes 5 hours to drive back.
