I went to Florida earlier this year for the first time. I knew SpaceX's cadence is insane so I just planned to be in Titusville for 5 days and assumed there would be at least 1 launch. I got lucky and saw two. I saw a night time Starlink launch from the 401 space force viewing area, and then I also saw Axiom 2 from Playalinda beach which had a RTLS and was crewed. It really is awesome that if you stay a few days, you're pretty much guaranteed to see a SpaceX launch. Was an amazing experience to see a rocket launch for the first time, and not just any rocket launch, but a crewed one.

In 1995 we tried to catch a shuttle launch while camping at Disney for 10 days. The launch kept getting delayed due weather. We finally had to leave Disney. We went to our next campsite at Cocoa Beach. We got there a half hour before the shuttle launched. Great view and wonderful time.

Wow, what a great Christmas present from NSF! I travel out to the Cape in 6 weeks time hoping to see my first ever launch in person. Thank you so much for passing on all these launch viewing tips,absolutely invaluable!

Consider how often SpaceX launches you have a damn good choice of seeing one.

The 401 Space Force viewing area was my favorite for RTLS. For some reason someone suddenly decided the site was a security concern. Got to find a new place now☹. Since most space x launches happen a night now, my other favorite, PlayaLinda is mostly out of the question. so I watch NSF on a big screen and run to my back yard at T -0😁BTW, there are a buchn of small area and a few restaurants on US1 south of Titusville with good view. I watched SLS from Shiloh steak and grill.

That was my go to place also 😭. I’m glad they pointed that out because I would’ve been disappointed for the next launch

Thank you Julia and Max. You guys are awesome.

OR you could watch from my front yard 11 miles from 39A. 😁 You may have to wait a few seconds for it to clear the trees but you have NSF coverage for that 😉 No parking fees. No traffic. No people being peopley. A really really short commute!

I live in Clermont, 20 miles west of Orlando, and all I need to do is find an unobstructed view of the horizon to see a launch. If you want to restrict yourself to night launches, you can see them anywhere in the state. I watched a night shuttle launch from Miami.

Great video. Thanks for all that information. That's a save for sure. 😊

Great guide, thanks NSF team for putting this together! Definitely helpful for planning a trip down to KSC

Great clip, NSF! Thanks. 😊

This is awesome! I see launches regularly and still learned about some different sites to visit. Have you ever guys considered making a video for photographing the launches? It'd be cool to see how you do it and any tips/tricks for us amateurs

Another location is Space View Park adjacent to the NASA causeway. Love the educational interactive exhibits about the Space Program within the park as well as The Rocket Garden and Apollo 1 Memorial.

Space view park is great if it is a week day or a non-noteworthy launch. For a crewed launch you will need to either very early or look for another place.

And for the Artemis launches, especially Artemis 3(whenever that happens)it's going to be insanely, off the charts crowded.

Perfect info for me scheduling to see any RTLS and New Glenn flight 1💯great video!

Thanks Julia , Max , and Sawyer. Great tips.

Family and I watched a launch and booster landing from the bridge on the beach road north of Cape Canaveral, the beach park was closed at 10pm, next time we will do a StarFleet tours boat.

That would be a dream of mine. GO NASA

Amazing video instant save to fav.😍

My favorite spot is here watch NSF live... :)

Won’t go anytime soon maybe but this will come in handy when I do go one day

Thanks for all the good information. If you have a national parks pass, it will get you into Playalinda beach. A great place to view a launch.

Bugspray any time of day, or year!!!!

SpaceX with its insane launch cadence is making it much easier to catch a launch out at the cape. I’m on the West coast and have only seen 2 launches from Vandenberg, little more difficult to catch one from there. One day I will visit the cape and I will make sure to watch this video again

Thank you for this guide Max & Julia it is something i am looking forward to doing one day

Great Video! really helpful.

This was so helpful! So many beautiful choices to pick from, Max and Julia are great hosts and they were both very informative! Thanks to the NSF for being so great 😄 ❤️ Can’t wait to see a launch in real life soon 🔜

Are they no longer offering viewing from the Gantry near 39A and SLC 40? I saw the first Starlink launch from there about 4 1/2 years ago and it was a spectacular place to watch from.

They occasionally offer the Gantry but as often as they used to. They will announce on their social media.

This is great!! Thanks for all the advice and tips y'all!

I'm glad nobody is giving away the really good viewing areas. All the good spots are secret which is what makes them nice.

So helpful - great video and tx to Julie and Max :):):)

Most excellent. Thank you.

Best place for me is my front yard in northern Cocoa Beach 😁😎 or the restaurants near Jetty Park or the Cocoa Beach Pier's Riki Tiki Tavern..

Always curious about it

We were on a Cruise stopped in the port one time and a Falcon-9 booster on a barge did in fact float right by us! I thought the ship was going to tip to one side by how many people stood against the glass on the pool deck to get a look at it haha. It felt so close yet still so big!

NSF y'all rock! Merry Christmas, y'all! Peace

@NasaSpaceFlight Wonderful video. So is another one coming out for tips to watch those west coast launches?

THX. This is very helpful.

Possibly the best spot not mentioned is the viewing area near the Cape Canaveral Pass & ID building on the north side of Port Canaveral near (28.419, -80.608) free with good views, and about as close as you can get to the RTLS pads.

Unfortunately, closed down earlier this year... the 45th no longer allows viewing from there. Likely should have mentioned it as a previous option that is no longer available. -Das

@@NASASpaceflight I didn't know that, I haven't been there since last year for a Transporter flight with the cremains of a friend's dad on board.

Jetty park is ok but the near ground view is very obstructed. YOU can access the beaches all along Cape Canaveral, all with good parking, just south of there for perfectly good views that are equal to and often better than Jetty park and with no admission cost. ONce New Glenn starts launching, that will be even better since the entire coastal area has clear, nearly unobstructed, views to Pad 36. THe Falcon 9 launches are great from these same beaches even though view is obstructed at near ground level. i rent a condo in this area every Christmas and often just walk out onto the beach for launches. and FYI, this is a great area to visit, with excellent beach, great views of the cruise ships, lots of restaurants and other family friendly attractions and services. The Banana RIver viewing area at KSC generally involves special admission tickets that are sometimes pricey but good for pad 39A Falcon launches. I saw first Falcon Heavy from here via a package marketed by the operator of the Visitor Center. They did a great job and it was well worth the 150 dollar price I paid for that special launch.

when did the Route 401 area close to public? I have watched Atlas 5 launches from there just outside the gate and it is a good site with lots of parking, bleachers and lighting. Nearly ideal depending on which pad is in use.

I saw a Florida launch off the back of a cruise ship. I have a video, i felt on top of the world when I saw it

That must’ve been cool! We saw ours during sunset but we were at most 20 miles off shore and we saw the whole thing it was cool

What ever happen to viewing at the causeway viewing spot on Pkwy E? I got tickets to view STS-131 there. Also, the Space Force viewing area open to military and government employees?

I can see them from Paradise Beach Park in Indialantic. It’s across A1A from my home.

One thing you can do as well is listen to the launch net with licence and the right radio.

Got to see a space x launch from cape canaveral at the end October we want to cocoa beach and it flew over head it was so cool
