Rocket Launch TX

Has anyone viewed the SpaceX rocket launch in South, TX? Where to park? South Padre too far? 

Any advice is appreciated. 

Thanks

Wow, watching the Starship launch would be terrific!  I spent my working years at Vandenberg Air Force Base [now Space Force Base], here on the left coast, and had the great opportunity to view many, many launches over the years.   Hope you get to see the launch!!

Elon works in warp speed...It was Spacex that developed and gave the list of issues to address to the FAA. The FAA does not hire expertise in these areas so that was smart to work with the guys who actually know what they are doing. David, you should be able to see that from the country club up on the hill! I can see what they launch from Kennedy from my house on the other side of the state usually, and this sucker will be lighting up the sky if at night.

The key is to sneak into the TFR right at launch.  If you are really lucky you might get to see some flares in addition to the rocket.  Quite the light show.
