What this is
This Long March 5 is aimed farther than a lap around Earth. China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is sending it from Wenchang Space Launch Site, People's Republic of China. The ride starts as a very loud climb, then a long quiet coast.

Too far to see
You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 7,739 miles northwest. 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.
