If the local authorities did not *strongly* advise spectators to stay away due to COVID-geddon, I would most certainly be there on the grounds at KSC watching this launch in person!
Back in the shuttle days, I was on the grounds at KSC for a day shuttle launch, a night shuttle launch, and an RSLS abort at just about as close to T=0 that one could get without lighting the solid boosters and taking off. I also watched Voyager 1 launch (not from the grounds, though) in the 1970's. Alas, I guess my only choice is NASA TV or the SpaceX stream for this truly historic launch.....

There have been plenty of F1 races, football (and soccer ) games, etc. as well, but I'm sure people still get excited about going to see one live. You must have many friends.

I usually like an excuse to head over that way and get some rock shrimp from Dixie Crossroads, but today I'm not really in the mood to deal with the traffic jams getting back to Orlando.

And as a fellow Central Floridan, I couldn't agree more. Traffic sucks; if I can help it, I like to get all my running around done by noon to limit interaction with the crazies, lol. |
