NASA Launch Tonight

[rwdavis2]

For you night owls there is a launch tonight at Cape Canaveral at ~3:30am. Parker Solar Probe is headed to the Sun on a Delta IV Heavy launcher which should be visible for quite a long ways.

For future reference, does anyone have favourite viewing spots for launches from Canaveral?

I know there have been past threads on this.

We saw the Shuttle go up from the bridge between POR mansion area and the food court. Also caught a launch from our window at Swan but I forget exactly where we were, I seem to picture it from across the canal to DHS looking toward the BW pool.

like at WDW? I like watching from in front of Mission Space, very cool to see the entrance of the ride with the shuttle/rockets fire trail in the back
From Cocoa Beach, Jetty Park is very cool unobstructed view

Thanks, I'll take a stroll through the 'Search' button!

Mission Space! Now, that is a cool spot! Thank you.

We saw a shuttle launch while walking through Epcot World Showcase one year - it was amazing.

Did anyone see the launch this morning? I saw it while driving to work. Not as good as watching from the coast, but the night launches are pretty easy to see. The only time I have seen a launch from WDW I was in Epcot in WS.

Heard day launches are good from sitting in the bleachers at Tomorrowland Speedway.

Ha! It would certainly provide a different sound to the roar of ignition sequence and blast off!
