The event was visible from Pennsylvania, if you knew where and when to look. Gwen and I got in the Maggiemobile around the right time, and drove to a location a mile or two away that I knew would give us a view of the horizon on a heading of 130°, the azimuth for the predicted max elevation. While what we saw wasn't as spectacular as at the Cape, it clearly was Discovery on ascent.
