This is a practice flight. Agency for Defense Development is flying a Mir from Sea Launch to learn whether the rocket behaves. The cargo matters, and so does the simple question: did it work?

Too far to see
You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 6,435 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.
