NASA's “Black Brant XII” rocket will launch from their Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia Friday May 14. We should be able to watch across New York State.
What is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and able to reach earth just before Election Day? Well if you're thinking Superman, you're off base

I could see this playing in the background at a cool party or on a big-screen at an uber-hip bar/restaurant...
But don't plan a visit anytime soon as it's more than a thousand light years away. It's being called the Earth's "bigger, older, cousin," and it's orbiting a star very similar to our sun.
