is my favorite way to watch that launch, just because of the way it integrate the people watching. We haven't had the crowds since the Space Shuttle stopped watching, and DM-2, Crew-1, and Crew-2 all happened during the pandemic - so this shows the old excitement.

I had a goal in 2020 to drive from Toronto to Florida to watch the next Falcon Heavy launch and dual-landings. Then the pandemic hit... but conveniently, they pushed back the FH launches by a year as well!

Depending on the status of the border, the pandemic, and all of that, I might take a trip down if they have one this fall.

One thing to remember though is that launches can easily get scrubbed due to weather, planes flying into the restricted zone etc., so make sure to plan to stay for most if not all of the planned launch window if possible. When I went I stayed at a hotel in Orlando, which can be fun but it's also a bit of a drive so might be worth finding lodging closer to KSC if you're not too keen on driving a fair bit.

If you're viewing the launch from KSC your ticket won't be refunded either, and they'll only open up tickets for the next attempt after the launch is scrubbed so you can't prebook for all attempts either.

When I went the first attempt was scrubbed, but they launched the next night. This actually worked out better for me, since then I could score tickets to the viewing gantry which was closer to the actual rocket, and an amazing experience.

Pro tip: if you're spending multiple days at KSC just buy a year pass – it's worth it.

Also pro tip: don't forget to visit the nearby warbird museum as well, they've got an amazing collection of airplanes and very knowledgeable volunteers on staff!

If SpaceX can successfully land starship after the first suborbital flight I think it will dwarf the twin booster landing.
