Night-owl skywatchers and early risers along Florida's Space Coast have a reason to set their alarms: SpaceX is targeting an early Tuesday morning liftoff for a Falcon 9 rocket launching from Cape Canaveral.
Falcon 9 is SpaceX's workhorse rocket, known for its reusable first-stage boosters that routinely return to land after liftoff — a spectacle in its own right for anyone watching from the ground.
Residents and visitors across a wide stretch of Central and East Florida often catch rocket launches as a brilliant streak across the pre-dawn or nighttime sky, depending on timing and cloud cover. Coastal viewing spots near the Cape tend to offer some of the clearest sightlines.
