We are scheduled to launch the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from VAFB tomorrow at 9:17 a.m.For public safety, roadblocks will be set up at the corner of 13th Street and New Mexico, Floradale Ave. and W. Central Ave. and Floradale Ave. and W. Ocean Ave.

Central Ave. and Floradale Ave. and W. Ocean Ave. Bottom line is that Ocean Avenue and Floradale is 6.7 miles from LC4.For the first RTLS launch the roadblock was at Union Sugar cross-street. That was still a pretty good show for public observers. That's 4.46 miles from the pad.For non-RTLS launches in the past, I viewed from the parking lot of the South Base gate, just outside the security building. That's 3.78 miles away. For Atlas V launches from SLC3 that is only 2.55 miles away.
when they say they're roadblocking at 4:30am or whatever, does that mean they're also clearing out anyone parked along Ocean past that point? i know that reads like a dumb question, but i'm not sure why they're blocking off that much road, and i'm wondering if it's because they expect too much traffic and THAT's the safety issue they're worried about (not proximity to landing).
Falcon 9 is vertical on SpaceX’s West Coast pad ahead of tomorrow’s launch of the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich mission. Weather forecast is 80% favorable for liftoff
Rollout of the @SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket with Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich was completed this afternoon.The Earth-observing mission is slated to launch tomorrow, Nov. 21, at 9:17 a.m. PT from @30thSpaceWing in California: go.nasa.gov/2Uvu60Q #SeeingTheSeas 🌊
