LPT: If you watch a rocket launch in person, don't rely on a broadcast for the actual launch spectacle. There is always a 30 second to a minute delay in the broadcast.
I live near Cape Canaveral. The TV can be showing the start of the launch, and we suddenly hear it and it's halfway up the sky at that point. Webcasts also lag behind. Don't be inside or listening when you can be looking at the horizon/launch pad.
