By using Launch & Linger you agree to the following. We have tried to keep these terms readable.
Editorial & accuracy
We do our best to keep places, prices, hours, and addresses current, but information changes. Verify hours, reservation policies, base-access conditions, and especially launch schedules through the operator's official channel before driving. We are not liable for closures, cancellations, weather, or your personal experience at a recommended establishment.
Vandenberg launch viewing
Vandenberg Space Force Base controls all on-base access. We do not represent the base, the Space Force, or any launch operator. Public viewing windows are announced — or not announced — at the base's discretion. Trespassing on base, railroad, or restricted state-park land is your responsibility. Do not climb fences. Do not park on Highway 1 shoulders during launch closures. Follow CHP and base police instructions.
Outbound links
We link to third-party sites for booking, gear, and reference. We are not responsible for third-party content, prices, availability, or policies. Affiliate links are disclosed on the disclosure page.
