SEEING IT

Where people watch from on Florida's Space Coast, with the distance to Space Launch Complex 40:

• 7 miPlayalinda Beach, Canaveral National Seashore: the closest public beach, looking south along the coast; entry is capped and the seashore closes for some launches
• 14 miSpace View Park, Titusville: on the Indian River, looking east across the water
• 14 miParrish Park and the Max Brewer Bridge, Titusville: the river and the bridge, looking east
• 11 miJetty Park, Port Canaveral: the beach by the port; paid parking
• 17 miAlan Shepard Park, Cocoa Beach: the beach south of the port

From the pad to Orlando 49 mi, Daytona Beach 52 mi, Tampa 122 mi, Jacksonville 138 mi, West Palm Beach 132 mi, Miami 195 mi.

A rule of thumb, not a promise: at night with clear skies a launch is a bright point climbing the sky for roughly 150 miles along the coast (Florida Today puts a Cape launch in view from Jacksonville to West Palm Beach); in daylight it is a plume you need to be much closer to see. Haze, cloud and the rocket's path all change it.

Closures and official viewing sites: Canaveral National Seashore (closures). Sources: Florida Today's viewing guide, We Report Space: where to watch on the Space Coast.
