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

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.
