Firefly Aerospace is launching a rocket called Firefly Alpha Block 2 from Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA. The public listing does not name a cargo yet. A polar path goes over the top and bottom of Earth, so the satellite can eventually see the whole world.

Too far to see
You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 927 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.
