That Light in the Sky? Another SpaceX Rocket Launch

For 15 years, In&Out Magazine has been the definitive source of “Everything that’s going on” in and out of the community. We thank you, our readers, as well as the businesses that support the magazine through advertising, for that opportunity. But with little going on, and many businesses suspending or canceling their ads during the Covid-19 crisis, we are suspending publication of the magazine and web sites for the month of May. 


That incredible light in the west last night, seen by many Valley residents, was the second such highly visible launch of a rocket by the company Space X from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The first one was in December, 2017. This time, SpaceX deployed an Argentine satellite. You can see a full video of the launch below. First, here are some shots from Phoenix:

To see the launch up close, fast forward midway through this video:
