How to watch the launch

The best place to watch the launch, aside from in-person at Kennedy Space Center, is at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.

Zoom in: The free community watch party starts at 4:30 this afternoon at the Davidson Center for Space Exploration.

• There's also a discount for anyone who wants to go early and check out the museum today: $15 for adults and $12 for kids.

How it works: The Rocket Center will broadcast NASA's live feed on a giant screen in the Saturn V Hall, and will be part of NASA's coverage with live hits throughout the launch window, per USSRC.

• Several NASA team members will be on hand to provide commentary about the mission and activities for children will be set up in the hall.

What they're saying: "Look around, look above your head at the Saturn V that's hanging there," Odom said, on advice for folks watching from the USSRC.

• "Put yourself in the shoes of those folks who built that system and all the lessons learned since then," he said. "Look around, take it all in."
• He also urged anyone at USSRC to speak to those around them, as there's sure to be folks who have worked on Artemis, or even Apollo, in the crowd.

🎥 Stream it anywhere

NASA will carry the launch on its free streaming service, NASA+, as well as its YouTube channel.

Yes, but: NASA's YouTube channel is the only place to see the continuous views from Kennedy Space Center, continuous live mission coverage and continuous live views from Orion.

• All of NASA's channels, including Twitch and Facebook, will carry the launch itself, and YouTube and X are the only places to catch the daily news conferences.

Coverage starts at 12:50pm on NASA+, with the two-hour launch window opening at 5:45pm.
