EVENT TIMELINE
Times from SpaceX's Flight 15 timeline ("all times approximate"). COMPUTED rows use your distance. ESTIMATE rows are not from SpaceX. Ship-return rows follow the ship-catch clock.
WHERE TO LOOK
Mount = where Starship sits and lifts off. Tower = where the booster and ship are caught.
| TARGET | BEARING | DIST | SOUND |

SOUND ARRIVAL
Light reaches you right away. Sound travels at about 343 m/s, so you see the rocket before you hear it. Alerts flash the screen, beep, speak, and vibrate where the phone supports it.
On. Arm once, then liftoff sound and sonic-boom alerts flash the screen, beep, speak, and vibrate.

Data: Open-Meteo, at the Pad 2 coordinates. This is not SpaceX's launch weather call.
SHIP CATCH
SpaceX will only bring the ship back if its systems are healthy. Otherwise it comes down in the ocean, so treat this as a planned catch, not a sure thing.
