NASA

If you're answer to the childhood question "what do you want to be when you grow up?" was "astronaut", well, now's your chance.

Chris Bakley of Cape May is quite literally reaching for the stars as his pictures of the sky have led him to an ambassador position with NASA.

Multiple reports were phoned in yesterday from up and down the beaches about a big ball of light flashing across the sky

South Jersey, News, Weather, Sports, Entertainment, NJ
A rocket carrying TWO South Jersey science experiments launched yesterday afternoon at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

If you're a fan of Independence Day, Alien, or E.T. you may want to look into this new job opening from NASA.

You know how they say patience and dedication pay off? Those people are wrong.

Here we go again...part two of the disappointing rocket launch. I wonder how many times I'll go before I give up.

I spent the weekend waking up at 3am. Why you might ask? Well, to see a rocket of course. Things don't always go as planned.

A rocket that was set to launch Wednesday (May 31) has been rescheduled for early Friday (June 2) morning and may be seen from South Jersey.

Of course, I forgot to go outside Monday night and look up....  Thankfully, some pictures are surfacing on social media!

***UPDATE*** There was supposed to be a rocket launch last night that would've been visible in our Jersey skies, however it's been postponed until tonight!

It's still up there.
16 years after it's launch, the International Space Station is still orbiting the earth. Residents in South Jersey will get a glimpse of the station as it passes overhead.
