Interesting that the actual release of the rocket will be off the south coast of Ireland... Apparently

Slight possibility we might see it?

The NOTAM had them launching in a corridor south of Ireland

Don't you feel bad for all those that showed up to see the 'launch'?  All they were ever going to see was a 747, take off, in the dark...
