When I saw that there was going to be a launch, I asked Siri if we would be able to see it from up here in North Carolina. It's answer was no.
So I watched it on TV.
30 minutes later got a call from one of my relatives who lives about 30 minutes east of me on the coast itself. He said they could see a lot and it was very impressive.
Turns out Siri gave me the answer from a previous launch months or years ago that would not have been visible from up here.

A bit short of the planned eight-minute run time. Something went awry.

They are reporting '4 good engines' and still on schedule to move it to Kennedy for launch later this year. I have signed up for notifications and plan to go watch this one leave (if politics don't screw it up.)

If I wake up around that time, I'll try to remember to stumble out in the yard. Night launches are incredibly cool.

I've seen a lot of launches, but the stage separation and engine burn after lit up the sky like I've never seen before.
