Damn. The one chance I had of seeing the plume while at the office, I had to work from home today and miss it...
Coincidentally, there's a very good chance that the payload was built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems, just down the street from where I work in Sunnyvale, CA. It doesn't look like much but here's where a lot of sensitive DoD space hardware gets built which C-5s and C-17s will come and pick up at NUQ. Would love to get a behind the scenes tour... (wishful thinking).
