Question Another rocket launch?
Idk if anyone knows what this is but it's consistently been sitting there. Noticed around 12:20 am. Hasn't moved. Bright light, it's slightly offset from a radio tower with flashing lights, but far enough to not be a part of it. I saw there was supposed to be a SpaceX launch today but won't be for another few hours. Is that it?
This is from above Moses Taylor pointing towards the central expressway/going towards dickson city, about 2° North facing
I have video as well but my camera is kind of potato and it looks much brighter on it.

Question Riverfront Adult Soccer
Looking for honest feedback. How intense are the adult soccer leagues at the riverfront? I’m 40 and used to play college soccer, which was 20 odd years ago, but want to play to switch up my cardio routine… at the same time not looking to get slid tackle by an eager 24-year-old. Or does anyone know of age-bracket soccer leagues? Any feedback is appreciated.
- Thanks

Question Steamtown marathon start line photos
Hi all,
I ran the steamtown marathon yesterday, which was a great experience! Unfortunately when I checked my official results, my bib chip wasn't registered at the start so my start time is incorrect. This ended up adding time to my official end time, which has an impact on my ability to qualify for some of the majors. Is there anyone who happens to have any photographic documentation of runners crossing the start line? I started near the 3'25 pacer. Appreciate any help anyone is able to give! Thank you!
