What this is

People are riding this Starship. SpaceX is launching them from Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA. Everyone who loves them will be watching the clock.

SpaceX is flying a Starship from Launch Complex 39A Starship Pad, Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA. Mission: SpaceX HLS Demo. The Starship HLS pathfinder spacecraft in support of NASA's Artemis III mission in will be a Version 3 vehicle equipped with a docking mechanism, but with no crew cabin or environmental control systems on board. This Starship HLS will launch after the Artemis III Orion has launched into aboard SLS, and has completed its demonstrations with Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander. Once docked, Orion and Starship will spend about a day connected for checkouts and testing. Planned orbit: . Status: To Be Determined. Current date is a placeholder or rough estimation based on unreliable or interpreted sources. The published time can still slip. Rockets wait for weather, boats, and the range.

From here

Too far to see

You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 1,575 miles east. 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.

Viewing spots

Places run by a park or a visitor center near this site. A listing is not a promise you can see the rocket from there.
