What time is the launch? How long from now, so I don't mess up my time zones?

I saw the last launch pretty vividly from outside my house. This one is going to be a daytime launch so I'm not sure how well I'll be able to see it but I'm going outside anyway. I'm about 195 miles (3.5 hours by car) south of Cape Canaveral

I'm about 4,320 miles east of Cape Canaveral, what do you think the odds are that I'll see it?

This is probably at night, but according to Google



I didn't think I would see much but wow I saw a huge moving fire in the sky. Way, way bigger than a shooting star. I could see the fire from the burners

I’m as excited for a space launch at 40 as I was as a kid. It is something bigger than all of us. At a time where the world is battling a virus, international tension, and bitter political feuds, I can’t imagine another event more fitting to bring humanity together and give hope to all.
Ok, maybe an alien invasion like In Independence Day, but you get my point.

I will be tuning in on here to see it.

But if you was on a flat area. How far do you think you see in miles on a clear day. Roughly.

If I'm looking at the ground, not more than 3-4 miles.

The sky? I would say around 400 miles. That's about when the last space shuttle disappeared from view for me

I would not get in a rocket built by that spastic mongaloid.

Fuck that. He should make bombs instead.

I did the same thing as you, but I only ended up looking foolish in front of my family. You put it out there for the whole world. This is how nicknames are born.
