It might crash, so I'd get well away if I were you. |  |

I would definitely go if I was there, but I see that public viewing is not available for pre-dawn launches so you'll have to find a suitable location a bit further away than the space-center itself.
I'm sure you'll find somewhere. |  | | |

I replied to you in Herbivore's thread by the way. No pressure for you to reply but pointing it out in case you missed it. |  |

Why is the launch at such an unsociable time? Does it have to get to Mars by a certain time? |  |

It's a resupply mission for the ISS. The timing is important in order to make the rendezvous.

You should definitely get up.
Since it's a SpaceX launch you might also get some sonic booms if it's landing back at the same location.

They take off at night so they don't get burnt by the sun. |  | | |

Makes sense, I suppose. Early Greek rockets had to stop using wax on the wings because it got too hot. | |
