Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, named for its giant pink granite dome rising from the Llano Uplift, spans the border between Gillespie County and Llano County, south of the Llano River and some 24 km north of Fredericksburg, Texas.
SpaceX has been conducting its East Coast launches from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but they hope to return to their SLC-40 launch site in Cape Canaveral for the Falcon Heavy. SLC-40 is still undergoing repairs, after SpaceXâs last Falcon 9 explosion over a year ago. An alternative launch site, the Kennedy Space Centerâs 39A, is being modified to accommodate the Falcon Heavy.
The Cape Canaveral Air Force Station located adjacent to the Kennedy Space Center is the current home for all rocket launches in Florida. While most rocket launches are visible throughout the area, certain locations provide the best view of the launches. Visitors planning to watch a launch from one of these locations must arrive early as popular sites often fill up in advance of the scheduled launch time.
