T-30 view. Good summary of the two payloads. For some reason, the NSF stream is still private.

What's the trajectory of this launch? Is this something people along the East Coast will see like we did back on Sept. 24th?

As this is a launch to geosynchronous transfer orbit, the trajectory is due east and will not be close to the east cost of the US, like previous Starlink or Dragon missions. Depending on how close you are to Cape Canaveral, you may or may not be able to see the launch.

RP-1 loading is complete.

Thank you. I live in Virginia and back on the 24th of September there was a launch and it really put on a show for much, if not all of the East Coast. Lots of amazing pics and video of it. It was cone shaped with the head of it bright like a star. I was just wondering if this new launch would be similar for us.
