According to Spaceflight Now (http://www.spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av006/status.html), "The inaugural launch of an Atlas 5 rocket from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base occurred as scheduled this morning, thundering skyward at 3:02 a.m. local time (6:02 a.m. EDT) carrying a classified national security satellite."
That's good news to wake up to. Congratulations to the launch team and the NRO! We enjoyed living at Vandenberg, and know how thrilling that launch was, and it was an honor to be associated with the NRO even for a short time. Keep up the good work, and thanks for keeping us safe and secure.
