And despite the rumors, it is NOT a promo for "Interstellar."

Ah, NASA aborted the launch... "due to a boat downrange in the hazard area."

We'll attempt to launch #Antares tomorrow at 6:22pm ET. Learn more about #Cygnus: http://t.co/6Bo6KBRWnG pic.twitter.com/jDLpmZ9rgN

A look at NASA's Minotaur Rocket streaking across the East Village sky

Last evening, the U.S. Air Force launched an Orbital Sciences Minotaur 1 rocket into orbit from a (really?) Spaceport on Wallops Island, Va. Per HuffPo:

The nighttime launch could light up the sky for millions of observers along a wide swath of the Eastern Seaboard, and could be visible from just northeastern Canada and Maine to Florida, and from as far inland as Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky, depending on local weather conditions, according to NASA and Orbital Sciences visibility maps.

The rocket launched into space at 8:15 p.m. And acclaimed photographers James and Karla Murray got this shot ... as the thing traveled some 11,700 mph (per those nerds at space.com)... over our airspace...
