Reply to comment by Adeldor in Which space launch are you most excited for in 2023? by DealCommercial348

I live in Boca Chica, Tx so this is near and dear to my heart. So pumped to see it fly

I'm envious. I live in central Texas - a six hour drive away. We did visit the first day Remedios Ave was opened. Standing right before SN15 was thrilling. I believe I posted the first such pictures anywhere (for a "civilian," that is), here and here.

Man, I am jealous. Getting that close to those behemoths. The best I've had was visiting Canaveral in 2007 and seeing the Shuttle on the pad from like 2 miles away. And even that was a red letter day.

You all jealous but I've never seen a rocket and don't live anywhere near a launch pad 😭 also: starship is definitely going to make me cry when it launches

At the southernmost end of the Texas coast, east of Brownsville.

The "when" is less clear. Maybe late March if we are lucky.

Boca Chica, near Brownsville. Currently sometime in March, but that's surely fluid.

Others have already responded that it's in Boca Chica; so I'll add that you can have a fantastic view of any Starship launch from South Padre Island.

How is it looking out each day and seeing the build and launch site?
