Well, one launch I was actually happy about and I thought it tomorrow. Whoops. Glad it went well!
The Roman Space Telescope, 15 hours after launch, is ~154,000 km from Earth, ~40% of the distance to the Moon's orbit, traveling at 7,500 km/h.
Go RST!

@sundogplanets I knew I wasn't getting up for a 4:26am PT launch. I was satisified watching the recording. Then I could tell from no news articles hours after launch that most of the media weren't awake either.
@sundogplanets I was watching the telemetry during the launch and I saw altitude dropping really rather a lot and I was concerned. I then realized it was the telemetry for the boosters. LOL
@sundogplanets can’t wait for it to be settled at L2
