SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, April 19 at 8:50 a.m. ET (12:50 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 21 second-generation Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. If needed, there are additional launch opportunities the same day at 9:47 a.m. ET (13:47 UTC), 10:31 a.m. ET (14:31 UTC), and 11:28 a.m. ET (15:28 UTC).

I wonder if I maybe able to see from my house? When I lived in Florida I could watch Saturn launches from 50 miles away. Watched liftoff on TV and then ran outside for the rest. What a view!
