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.
