I've seen these a few times from Phoenix. If they catch the sunlight just right, the rocket exhaust looks spectacular!

I was watching the build up to the launch on the link you provided - shame it was cancelled as I was hoping to see whether I could see anything from here as the rocket gained altitude (I have a pretty good view to the south) and if you can see these launches from Phoenix I was wondering whether we can see them from up here. I won't be around tomorrow so won't be able to check it out. Maybe next time!
