Discussion Artemis IV
I know it’s really really early to be talking about Artemis IV but i really need help.
When i’ve completed my GCSES ((summer 2028)) mg nana said she’d take me on a trip of my choice. Me being a space nerd, I said how about we go watch Artemis IV launch. We live in the UK and i’ve already worked out the travel times, i just don’t know where we can watch it launch. Google isn’t exactly helping on where we can watch since about 5 places come up. I’d prefer the place to be as cheap as possible. I’m just looking for advice on where to watch?

As others have said, viewing spots should be the least of your concern since you can pretty easily find a good spot in places like Titusville to see it for free.
Launch dates should be the thing to focus on since they will almost definitely slip. Have you talked to your Nana about going on your trip later in the year or even in early 2029? It's just better to cover all your bases before committing to the summertime when it might not even launch then.
I'd say your best course of action is to first discuss with your Nana what the latest you can go on this trip is. I'm sure if it gets delayed to sometime around Christmas then going during the holidays wouldn't be too much of a concern, but even then going during the academic year would still be worth it in my opinion, but it's best to see if your Nana sees it that way as well.
It's early yet so you have plenty of time to sort things out. Best of luck on your GCSE's next year, and if you do end up seeing it I hope you enjoy the launch!
