Welcome!

We are the Launch Rats: the space geeks, the rocket nerds, the ones whose lives revolve around Launch Day. We believe that everyone should witness a rocket launch (or two, or ten, or fifty) with their own senses, and we are here to help make that happen for YOU.

Still not sure? Check out the site, see what we have to say. And when you decide to make the journey for yourself... we will be here to lend a helping hand, and welcome you home.
