The southern tip of Isla Blanca Park on South Padre Island is one of the ideal places to watch this from. Bring ear protection if you make the trip.
My wife and I watched the Falcon 9 launch from Epcot a couple of weeks ago. It felt like the most American retro futurist thing I’ll ever experience.
So jealous, I was sitting on the steps of the Hard Rock Cafe there a while back waiting for a launch that was ultimately postponed. One day I’ll catch one.

I mean, it “almost” worked last time, around 4-5 of them failed if I recall correctly. And the thrust vector control is electric now so that’s a huge upgrade from before.
Damn they had to wait 7 months? That silly FAA “stifling innovation”
Well, it started as just SpaceX Airplane, then it transitioned to SpaceX Starship, and finally after a legal battle over the name with the original members, the splitters became just Starship.
This history also ignores the founders that split off to start Hot Tuna.
