    Despite (or perhaps because of) a low haze that obscured the lights of
Los Angeles and Palos Verdes, my wife and I observed the launch of AC164
from the beach at Newport Beach, CA.  We first saw the vehicle as a red
spot very low to the horizon and observed the burnout of the solid
boosters, and shutdown of the booster and sustainer stages.  I lost
track after the sustainer shutdown.
