but may disagree with other sources. Details on military launches are

online launch schedules, including the official Vandenberg SFB

                          CHANCE ENCOUNTER
 
This afternoon I was wearing a space-related t-shirt while I was
working out at the gym. Matthew, a fellow gym member, asked if I
worked on the space program. We began talking and I learned he is a
space enthusiast and Launch Alert reader. Small world.
