The best views to watch a Florida rocket launch from here is along the beach.
The Space Coast of Florida has several rocket launches a month, but rocket launch doubleheaders are rare — and special.
One SpaceX rocket launch is crewed, the other has a batch of satellites for space.
A same-day doubleheader rocket launch from Florida is not to be because of a delay, but two SpaceX launches were scheduled for this week.
Axiom’s next crew of astronauts was set to travel to the International Space Station, but the mission was delayed a day after a SpaceX rocket launched a batch of Starlink satellites on June 10.
Former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson will command the Axiom mission, with liftoff from Kennedy Space Center, when there’s a new launch date announced.
Below is more information about the SpaceX rocket launches in Florida and suggestions on where to watch them from here. Rocket launch tally: Here's a list of all 2025 missions from Cape Canaveral, Florida (psst, there's a lot)
