I may have to set the alarm for 2 in the morning Sunday.
It's going to be cool and crisp so the rocket sound should travel well.

Not sure if we will get the 'jellyfish' light show because the spacecraft will be launching nearly in the center of the shadow of the Earth, and that will block any interaction with exhaust gasses and RCS activity being reflected by Sunlight.

Somebody filled their drawers on re-entry.

I think it's going to launch.
Rain stopped about an hour ago and it's clearing to the East.
Clouds are breaking up.

I might be able to catch it for a bit, hopefully it clears of more in the next 30 minutes.

IDK yet. Still a bit obscure here but looking like it's clearing on the coast.

NE track, just saw that.
