Imagine the thrill of watching a rocket roar past the horizon, knowing that it’s carrying both science and a little slice of our community into the cosmos. It’s the kind of moment that makes the sky feel like a giant canvas painted with possibility.
Behind the Scenes: What’s Cooking?
While the rockets soar, engineers are hard at work ensuring every bolt and sensor is in tip‑top shape. Our own science teams at the Space Coast Science Lab are juggling data streams and simulations, all with the promise that one day, a school‑kid might pick up a piece of the rocket and know exactly how it helped send a probe beyond Earth.

How to Catch the Launch
Below are a few quick “tips” to make sure you’re not missing out:
- Pick a spot early: From the dunes of Cocoa Beach to the flats of Sand Island, choose your view and be there before the doors open.
