I'm planning to take the family for the FH launch expected in June. Seriously considering the "Feel the Heat" package, but wondering if it will be too loud for the littles (2 and 6)? Obviously they'd wear proper hearing protection, but would it still be too loud/intense?


I had my five with me (all under ten). We debated endlessly about whether to buy nasa tickets until they were sold out. We flew down the morning of (this was the demo flight last year) - and by 10 am we were in the vicinity of the launch area. Since we didn’t have tickets we evaluated some of the bridge locations but finally decided if it didn’t launch we’d rather make it a day at the beach rather than hang out alongside a highway. Three things to note: 1) the beach area had terrible internet. Most of the time twitter wouldn’t load so it was hard to know exactly what was happening. 2) you have a pretty good shot of the landing zones when the rockets return - better than inside ksc I’ve read, 3) if we hadn’t been staying in the hotel it would have been several hours of traffic after the launch. As it was we took the kids to the pool and ate dinner poolside but we could see the road outside was packed for easily two hours post launch.


The word "perceived" was not in the article title, and thus the claim is unchanged... whether the article title is accurate or not is open for debate :)


Amazon has diversified income streams, they don't just resell products they purchase wholesale. They have a pretty sweet deal with 3rd party sellers, they make a big cut providing a sales channel for inventory owned by others, either seller-fulfilled or FBA.


I think OP meant that they don't have those armed with firearms that shoot back.
