I think launching the Kracken into space is a violation of international law by "weaponizing" space.:)

Edit: I doubt it, but will I be able to see it where I live in Maryland?

Sorry dude, but VAFB is in central-southern California.

"A" = VAFB

I live near Los Angeles (note location) so I might be able to see it.

If you're trying to watch it, this should give you a rough indication of where to look;

It's the exclusion zone for the launch itself, first stage drop zone and fairing drop zone. Ignore the line already there, the path'll be right down the middle.

So they are launching to the west. It makes sense. They don't want anything falling on land. I wasn't expecting to see it here any way.

Anyone found a live stream yet?

Watching livestream and ready to go outside :D

T-12 minutes! (Link to livestream in O.P.)

EDIT: Hehe, I saw it. It was a MASSIVE fireball in the sky that started turning into a red dot. You could see a small smoke trail emanating from the nozzles, like on the Saturn V when it was ascending.
