It will be fast moving (crossing the whole sky in less than a minute), and will only be visible between 5:55 pm EST(florida) and 6:10pm EST (canada). This is a resupply mission to the ISS.

So what the fuck! Am I looking east here, what line is it running? The east coast is a big place, its leaving Florida right?
I know where this joint is going, I'll snap a shitty cell phone pic if I see it.
Did you know they perfected the pancake?

It's running parallel to the east cost from Cape Canaveral, look at a map and determine whether or not you need to look southeast or southwest. It's difficult to really tell how far east or west it will be, because it's alitude will be changing at a non-linear rate, so the position in the sky depends heavily on how far north you are as well as how far east/west you deviate from its projected path.
Or you could, you know....scan the southern sky like a normal person with eyes that are capable of moving
The good thing is that visibility is much better tonight (at least in NC it is).
Also, pancakes don't form well in microgravity

I didnt see it, the world is flat.
My grandparents used to live in florida. They'd watch the launches. Ive been there and houston. If I was smart there's probably a stream of the launch, I didnt think about that until now though.

They scrubbed it due to high ground winds. Don't want the rocket drifting and missing the target
New launch time is TBD, maybe sometime this weekend

I just read that. They're going to try again tomorrow. Apparently they've had some bad luck here in the past trying to do this.

5:10pm EST, 30% chance of launch success based on predicted weather.
I've got a fucking company Christmas party to go to, but they can wait for a few minutes, I'm not going to miss this

Looks like a 70% chance of launch during a 30 minute window starting at 4:44 pm EST. It's before sunset, but still worth a look
