Have you ever watched a NASA rocket launch? Would you like to go behind the scenes, meet aeronautics scientists, and even an astronaut? Welcome to a special edition of the Stuck Mic AvCast. Victoria’s friend put a link on her Facebook page inviting her to apply for passes for a rocket launch. She applied and an acceptance letter arrived in her inbox.

Not knowing what she was getting herself into she accepted the invitation. Little did she know she would get a behind the scenes look at NASA Wallops Launch Facility,, make new friends, meet amazing scientists, and visit with an astronaut! Today’s episode is interviews from NASA’s Wallops launch facility in Virginia ending with an incredible launch.

But wait, there’s more! The incredible event becomes truly Amazing when Carl gets to see the Launch flying over the Atlantic Ocean while Victoria is reporting from the ground. Today we share with you what we think may be a first ever perspective of a NASA launch from the ground and the air, as Carl and Victoria share their experiences.
