Is there a reason that people don't travel to the end of Ocean Ave to view the launch?
Is there a reason that people don't travel to the end of Ocean Ave to view the launch?View from the end of Ocean Ave:
Multiple sources are saying SpaceX will indeed try for an ASDS landing. Whichever place I end up to watch the launch from in the area will have good wifi or LTE reception so I can not only see the launch with my own eyes but also catch the webcast on the iPad as well.
Me, with wife and two kids too, from the Bay Area.Also, I will be active on ham radio (VHF/UHF). Anybody here a ham too?
Maybe familiar with a repeater that could be used to get information from people in their QTH with a reliable Internet connection.
Has there been any new "security requirements" listed for a viewing?Reason I'm asking is an experience that happened last week at a trade show.Clearly a major uptick in security. Even worse, they had the bomb sniffing dogs out in the isles. If you know anything about security you are aware what that means.
As an aside, VAFB's website now shows this:(Note launch and landing)

I wonder if the "to and from space" bit is a reference to dragon landings at VAFB. Doesn't quite make sense just talking about returning boosters.
