Don't hold your breath. That Cloud Background doesn't look to good. What's the Mr. Radar for their area say?....Ooops,hang on,they're switching to Internal Power. Maybe they will shove it up and off the Pad!

Thank you for posting,
My daughter (she's 11 years old) and I watched the lift off.
She has interest in that stuff too, like myself..

Another one going off from Wallops on Saturday morning but may not be visible unless you are near the Chesapeake Bay. Hopefully I will be in DE and will get to see it.

But it is supposed to be a DOD payload so it will not be broadcast.
