The United Launch Alliance launched its 10th and final Delta IV Heavy rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Saturday afternoon. The rocket blasted off in clear skies at 3:25 p.m. from the coastal base north of Lompoc. Viewers from the south coast of San Luis Obispo County had to wait for the rocket to clear a fog bank over the ocean it was visible rising into the sky. Residents in San Luis Obispo could see the rocket soaring through a blue sky with a plume of white smoke trailing behind. The launch was visible up and down the coast, as far south as Baja California.
