SpaceX rocket launch set for March 24 in Florida

A SpaceX rocket launch is planned for midday on Monday, March 24, 2025. The launch will take place at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral in Florida. This launch is part of a mission with the National Reconnaissance Office. People living along the East Coast of Florida might see the rocket streaking through the sky, depending on the weather. Good locations to watch include Daytona Beach, Melbourne Beach, and Vero Beach. If you're planning to see it in person, arrive early and be ready for heavy traffic afterward. For those in Volusia County, which is north of Brevard County, several good viewing spots are available. The best views are along the beach, looking south. Popular spots include New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach. You can also view the launch from several parks and recreational areas around Oak Hill. Examples include Mary McLeod Bethune Beach Park and Riverbreeze Park. These areas provide amenities like restrooms and picnic spots, making them good choices for watching the event. Weather will play a big role in whether the launch goes ahead. Keep an eye on local forecasts for updates. If anything changes with the launch schedule, updates will be provided to the community.
