    Apparently we'll be able to see the rocket over the UK about an hour after launch.
    If all is ok then it sets off about 8.20 pm and we could see it (west to east) about an hour later, weather permitting.

    I gather Donald's going to be there. Any chance they could put him in it? Maybe when he gets over the British Isles he could stick his head out and wave.

    50/50 again I think, so fingers crossed they can do it.

    Hope the 2 lads on top of the rocket haven't seen some of Musk's other technology in action

    Think it may be a struggle to see it on first pass as the sky will still be too bright. There should be a later pass (somepoint after 10pm from memory but can't remember the exact time) when it will be more visible.

    I always found it a struggle on first pass.
