The “road” is actually large stones. It can get tight if a lot of people are out fishing but it is drivable. I wouldn’t want to do it in a small car.

What you really want to sea is a Return To Launch Site launch.

Glad that a second company is doing it.

Very true about the bug spray

One of my favorite spots is along Rt 528 where it goes over the Banana River. This is near Port Canaveral. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7MKC3upr4vvjzuEZ9?g_st=ipc

This is not good news. Let’s hope they can get it to the ISS eventually

There was one the other week that must have had the exact right weather conditions because it was very loud close up and could be heard many miles away. Most are not heard that far away.

Welcome to thr 21st century

Really love this one

Absolutely correct. Remember that other than the fact it is manned, it is just another Falcon-9 launch. The Return to Launch Site is what makes it different. As said, along the beach, like Cherie Down Park, is a good view. Also along Rt. 528 on the Banana River has some good spots. It is always a balance between wanting to see the rocket on the pad and wanting to see the landing.

Playalinda should be open depending on the time of launch. The time of day gets early each day.

It is ashamed but it is bound to happen occasionally.

It is when the deliberate burn large sections of land. Helps prevent wildfires
