CAPE CANAVERAL, Fl – SpaceX is launching its 25th cargo resupply mission from Florida’s Space Coast Thursday evening. As of Thursday morning, their scheduled liftoff time is 8:44 p.m. and can be streamed live here.
There’s the chance that we see the vapor trail from the launch minutes after the fact (up until 9 p.m.). Your best bet is to find a higher location and look southeast.

Sunset in our corner of the Commonwealth occurs shortly before 8:44 p.m., so it won’t be completely dark out.

Most clouds will be farther east, but could still be enough to impede our view.
