From here
Too far to see
You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 1,585 miles east. The broadcast is the view.
That is too far for the flame and, for almost every launch, too far for the high-altitude plume. Dim the lights and watch together anyway. The clock is still loose, so daylight is a guess.
Public places
Viewing spots
Places run by a park or a visitor center near this site. A listing is not a promise you can see the rocket from there.
Jetty Park
Public park at Port Canaveral. The port charges admission.

So the slip still finds you
A single launch can be saved now. The subscribe feed, on the launches page, is the one that moves when a rocket slips. Calendar alarms do not know about bedtime quiet hours.
