A Falcon 9 is carrying 27 Starlink satellites. They are small radio stations that stay in space and help the internet reach houses, ships, and farms that do not have a cable in the ground. The bottom of the rocket tries to fly home and land so it can be used again.

Too far to see
You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 930 miles west. 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.

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.
