Back in 2011, I wanted to see one of the last shuttle launches and drove over to Titusville thinking that would be a GREAT spot to view the launch. Well, everyone else in Florida thought the same thing and it was mobbed. We decided to turn around and go back to the rest area we had past on I-95 (southbound). Great decision. Not only was it close enough to hear the rocket and see it quite close, but more importantly it has bathrooms (important for people our age). We were parked there with about 20 + cars waiting for the launch. Some of the people had lawn chairs and coolers for drinks. Definitely a great decision.

I think we should ask those people in flood ravaged Kentucky and Mississippi if and where they are watching the launch from.

All that money wasted to go to Space when we could be spending the money to assist those unfortunate people in the GREAT COUNTRY of ours.

For a rocket of that size, one should be able to see at least the contrail from almost any high spot in The Villages. Look eastward.

The launch window is 8:33 to 10:33..... if you wander out at 10:30 you may be 2 hours late.

Right, let the Russians and Chinese control space. Maybe somebody shouldn't forgive college loans. All my kids worked very hard to pay their own way thru school. 300 billion dollars to help out deadbeats.

if there was no space program why do you assume the money would go to your causes?

Just what does it take for people to just answer the question without going down rabbit holes? I am planning to go and would like an answer to the original post.

The forecast doesn’t look great for watching from TV. “Mostly cloudy” around launch time.
