    Holy Moly, I didn't see this increase of launches coming.


    Falcon Heavy • USSF 44 NET June

    Aug.1 Falcon Heavy • Psyche

    3rd QuarterFalcon Heavy • ViaSat 3 Americas

    October Falcon Heavy • USSF 52

    November Falcon Heavy • USSF 67

    Lots of opportunities to watch for Eastern peoples.

    The question is whether NASA will let people get closer than right here: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.6279512,-80.7885152,196m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

    which is a little over 11 miles from the launch pad.

    I want to see a heavy from here: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.6279512,-80.7885152,196m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

    which is about 3 miles from the pad.

    Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.

    Any idea how they determine site locations?

    That's clearly a critical, endangered Anopheles breeding area with yuge historical significance. You should be deeply ashamed of yourself for
    even considering parking there. I suppose next you'll want to watch from
    the back of a Manatee. Egotistical, me first attitude.

    No, but as best I remember, the NASA Nazis started closing that road
    for 39A launches sometime during the pandemic. Back during the shuttle
    years, it was always closed for shuttle launches.

    After the shuttle retired, and before they started closing it at the
    first link up there, I and some other folks got run off from right here: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.6430586,-80.6980105,155m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

    The rules seem to "evolve" like the Covid "science" evolves. I allege
    that it's my triangulated opinion that if you could literally find
    someone to ask for any given scheduled launch from 39A - or 39B - they
    would say, "for national security reasons, and for your safety".

    Bah on 'em. damgummit bureaucrats.

    Well crap. That was the wrong link. Here's the right one: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.6443571,-80.6241045,384m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

    Now you can whine about me disturbing the sea turtles.
