Space X to launch this Sunday @ Vandenberg AFB.

Anyone know if Surf Beach will be closed tomorrow? I've never been up close to see a launch, but don't want to drive all the way there if i'ts closed. Coming from Santa Barbara.

Surf Beach is always closed for SpaceX launches because it is to close to the launch pad. Ocean Blvd is blocked off right past 13th street for launches, which is just about the closest you can get.

Just wanted to share this picture. With all the heavy machinery in the background and the large landing legs kinda looks likes its from a Sci-Fi movie. Enlarge it and see all the details.
