Was the Antares heard from Disney World?

Saw some videos, that sound traveled and it was loud and i'm sure they at least got a rumble.

The Antares launch was at the NASA facility in Wallops Island, VA not KSC.

So I'm guessing that's a "No."

Ha!

Even if it was launched from KSC you likely would not have heard it.

It looked like a scary oversized non fatal catastrophic explosion that would have been heard all over Florida to me. I know here on Long Island when we had a jet break the sound barrier it was heard all across the island. But in disney world when you hear a sound like that your probably assuming they launched some fireworks somewhere in the parks.

It's nearly 900 miles between the launch site and WDW....

It wasn't launched in Florida - I'd be more likely to hear it here in RI than anyone in FL would.

Yes, it has indeed been officially classified as a SONFCE by NASA.
The cause has yet to determined, but, I hear fallout from "Wishes" fireworks is the chief suspect.

I bet you the SLS coming up in the next few years will be heard or at least the felt in Orlando.

The Saturn V launches were felt all the way up to South Georgia and the night launches lit up the sky for hundreds of miles.
The SLS is more powerful than the Saturn V

I would agree. Cant wait to see that thing go up! We get a pretty good view from our front yard for most launches with good clear weather even though we live near Jacksonville.

 

[donaldtoo]

Yep, when they start sendin' these babies up, we may be able to feel 'em here, in Texas.

CANNOT WAIT for the SLS launches!
The block II looks monstrous!
