Transcript
- 0:00NASA is planning to launch the SLS rocket to the moon and
- 0:05uncrewed, Artemis. One mission will be the first
- 0:08test of NASA's new, deep space, exploration systems designed to
- 0:12return humans to the moon and then to Mars eventually and
- 0:17they're currently targeting Monday.
- 0:19August 29th at 8:33 a.m. eastern time with a two hour window from
- 0:25Kennedy Space Center launch complex 39.
- 0:28Be that It's from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. eastern time.
- 0:34This could possibly bring in hundreds of thousands of
- 0:37Spectators into the area so they could all witness history.
- 0:42Now there are a lot of options out there to watch the launch of
- 0:46Artemis. One of the SLS rocket with the
- 0:49Orion capsule on top. And if you're a space nerd like
- 0:52myself, I want to tell you some ways that you can either see it
- 0:56online or see it in person if you're in Florida.
- 1:00Which is pretty great. So I've been to a couple rocket
- 1:03launches, the really amazing I've been to a few and the ones
- 1:07in Florida. Are absolutely amazing but you
- 1:09need to know where to go to see these launches.
- 1:12First and foremost you have to be safe.
- 1:16Notice that if you're on a boat or if you're flying there are
- 1:19launch Hazard areas. Exclusion zones that are issued
- 1:23by the FAA, the Coast Guard, the space force and other
- 1:26authorities in the local area that you.
- 1:29You want to take heed of? So make sure you check those
- 1:32out. Notams not Mars, Etc.
- 1:35Before you go down. And you could, even if you mess
- 1:38this up, you could have fines and you could absolutely delay,
- 1:44the launch of Artemis one moon mission.
- 1:47So follow those guidelines. Make sure you're all good to go.
- 1:51Now something else you have to think about before you go to
- 1:55Florida, before you go to Kennedy Space Center and that
- 1:58whole area. Make sure to have enough
- 2:01supplies. This is one of the things that
- 2:04you don't really realize until you get there.
- 2:06There's going to be hundreds of thousands of new people in the
- 2:08area. And those people will want
- 2:10chips, they will want sodas, they will want water, they will
- 2:13want burgers, a want fries, they'll want all the food that
- 2:16you want as well, so make sure to pack enough food with you in
- 2:22your backpack. Make sure to put it in your car
- 2:25wherever you're going to be watching this.
- 2:26Launch bring supplies with you. Because if you get into To a
- 2:30place before the launch more than likely, you're probably not
- 2:34going to want to leave or be able to leave because it'll be
- 2:36so congested, it'll be almost impossible to leave that area.
- 2:40So bring everything that you want snacks food.
- 2:43Sunscreen a big hat where all the things that you would if
- 2:48it's going to be extremely sunny in, you're going to be going to
- 2:50the beach because that's where you're going to be.
- 2:52You're going to be in Florida and it's going to be sunny and
- 2:55hot. So be prepared for them, bring
- 2:58power Banks as well. Because you need the power banks
- 3:01for your phones for all of your devices.
- 3:04You don't want your phone dying on you when you're filming the
- 3:07arguments 1, launch for your friends to see where you live
- 3:10streaming. It bring me a couple of power
- 3:12banks with you throw them in your backpack with your food and
- 3:14your water, bring extra water to and also bring bug spray because
- 3:21bug spray that is a lifesaver. When you're in Florida, the
- 3:25whole place is basically there's water everywhere.
- 3:30So there's public beaches Parks, but also the thing that gets
- 3:34you, the most bug bites. So bring your bug spray, bring
- 3:38your sunscreen bring all your food and water and make sure to
- 3:42have your route picked out beforehand.
- 3:44Get there a few days early if you can because if you get there
- 3:48early, that'll guarantee you a place to at least be nearby
- 3:53where you'll be going to see the launch.
- 3:56Now, if you're going to be going to see the launch, it's going to
- 4:00Early in the morning to be 833 Eastern Time am but it's going
- 4:03to be. So congested you'll want to be
- 4:06at your spot at about 5:00 a.m. no joke.
- 4:10Be there at 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. you can sit in your car, you can
- 4:14hang out. You can take a nap, whatever you
- 4:15want to do. Get your parking spot.
- 4:17Be there at about 5:00 a.m., because if you don't, you'll
- 4:22probably miss the great spots and you'll have to wait in line
- 4:25and possibly even miss your viewing opportunity of the
- 4:29Artemis one. Mission.
- 4:30Now, Kennedy Space, Center Visitor complex.
- 4:33It's completely sold out. You cannot get tickets, Jetty
- 4:38Park is a place that's about 15 miles south of the launch its
- 4:42$16 to get in. It's very affordable the park
- 4:46opens at 5:00 a.m. but you need to get in line earlier than that
- 4:51because the parking is limited at cedi Park.
- 4:54Of course you can always get an Airbnb or a verb.
- 4:57Oh and those places. A really great way to do it.
- 5:02So if you can find somebody who's right on the coast with an
- 5:05Airbnb, you're going to be paying a little bit more money
- 5:07for it, but of course, you're going to be paying for what it's
- 5:11worth in. What is the show is brought to

- 8:34Irreplaceable, it's amazing. In make sure to check the
- 8:38location. Make sure to check all the maps
- 8:40to see the location of the the property compared to where it'll
- 8:47be launching from pad 39b. So get there early, you know,
- 8:52get there really early and make sure to get there a few days
- 8:55ahead of time. So you need to get your plan in
- 8:58place right now. The most determined launched
- 9:01enthusiasts will be camping. So people who are journalists
- 9:06people that are just, that just love, this stuff will be camping
- 9:09overnight at the spots and they'll be they'll have those
- 9:12spots already taken over. So good luck, you're not going
- 9:15to get those spots, but you can get there early and take the
- 9:19take the other spots afterwards 8:33 a.m. is the take-off time.
- 9:24So get there about 4:30 or 5:00. Please, please, please, please.
- 9:29Now there's public viewing areas as well.
- 9:32The max Brewer Bridge Parish Park area.
- 9:35It's about 10 miles away. There's a meted he's there
- 9:39though they do have bathrooms but the parking good luck with
- 9:43the parking extremely limited parking.
- 9:45It's going to be tough to get a spot.
- 9:47There's another place about 11 miles away.
- 9:50Space View Park. I've been there it is absolutely
- 9:54a space nerds dream come true. If you go to space view park has
- 9:59bath Rooms again. It's extremely limited.
- 10:04Get there. Really, really early to see this
- 10:06Sand Point Park is another one, they have Pavilions the
- 10:09bathrooms that's about 10 or 11 miles away.
- 10:14It's it's a great spot, it's great view, but it's limited as
- 10:20well. All these places are extremely
- 10:22limited, so be really careful where you pick because if you're
- 10:26going to be anywhere outside of the range, I would say one to
- 10:30two miles from where these parks are that you're going to be
- 10:33hanging out from your hotel, get their super like leave early
- 10:39leave earlier than you expect like an hour earlier than you
- 10:41expect. Because once you get there, if
- 10:43you're tired, I mean, it's 5:00 in the morning, you're going to
- 10:45be tired, probably. But you only have to wait till
- 10:498:30 to 10:30 somewhere around there.
- 10:51So, you only have to wait a couple hours for the launch, but
- 10:54we do have other places to William.
- 10:57Jane man's Owen Memorial Park. It's about Miles away, there's
- 11:00bathrooms Pavilions, there's actually electric Outlets there,
- 11:03there's electricity. So if you need electricity
- 11:06William, G, Manzo Park is the way to go. 12 miles away, not
- 11:10too bad rotary Riverfront Park. There's Pavilions everything
- 11:14here. Still extremely limited.
- 11:16And plus if there's hundreds of thousands of people there that
- 11:19are coming to watch this, you're going to be really extremely
- 11:24extremely limited there. So get there early Chain of
- 11:27Lakes Park. Miles away.
- 11:30They have bathrooms. They have an observation tower
- 11:33The Chain of Lakes Park. I've never been there.
- 11:35I've seen it, it looks beautiful that Pavilions and bathrooms and
- 11:38an observation Park and it's also limited availability.
- 11:43Sherry down Park, 16 miles away bathrooms and Pavilions.
- 11:48That's another good one. Cocoa Beach, pier 18 miles away.
- 11:52That's a pretty good bet. If you kind of like if you're
- 11:56just you know you just feel like you probably not going to be
- 12:00there on time. Cocoa Beach, pier is probably
- 12:02the way to go, it's 18 miles away, but 18 miles away, you can
- 12:06still see a great rocket launch bathrooms Pavilions and
- 12:09restaurants at Cocoa Beach, pier.
- 12:11It's a really great place if you want to hang out.
- 12:13A bunch of people, Cocoa Beach, pier is the way to go.
