I was invited by the NASA Social program to watch the launch of NG-12 on the Antares Rocket, Cygnus vehicle to the International Space Station from Wallops Island, Virginia. I talk about my expereince, show the rocket launching, including my reaction, and show some of the neat stuff they are doing at Wallops Island!

Video used from NASA for a few portions of this, although it is my own video for the first few seconds of launch, and everything but the press briefing and post-launch video.
