SpaceX halted the countdown of its planned Falcon Heavy Launch this evening after encountering what the company labeled a “ground side issue.” The next launch attempt will occur no earlier than Dec. 12, 2023 from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center at 8:14 PM Eastern Standard Time.
The “naked eye” view that a regular launch viewer would see from the Banana River in Cape Canaveral, about 10 miles from the launch site. This view was made standing on a pier with about 50-75 other people in attendance. While the view is not as up close as what you see on television, it is incredible to see in person — and to hear the true volume of the launches, especially the sonic booms.
Audio is a mix of Spaceflight Now and SpaceX streaming coverage and is included as it was part of the scene as many people had the coverage on their phones throughout the countdown and launch.
