SpaceX’s first launch of the Falcon 9 took at Cape Canaveral in Florida on June 4, 2010. The inaugural flight marked a significant milestone in commercial spaceflight history as it was the first time that a privately developed rocket of Falcon 9’s size had been successfully launched to orbit.

Depending on weather and clouds, a rocket launch from NASA Kennedy Space Center or Cape Canaveral may be seen from Daytona to West Palm Beach, Florida
