Thank you! I doubt we'll be able to get in as I don't know anyone there.
Also, their website, surprisingly, doesn't seem to have any information on
viewing locations.

Are you asking about being AT Vandenberg, or NEAR Vandenberg?
I can't answer about being NEAR Vandenberg, but I was lucky enough to watch
a launch last year from the official viewing site AT Vandenberg. If you can
get an invitation to that area, it's well worth it.
I was really looking forward to seeing the launch last night, because I was
hoping to see the staging (near south Orange County area). Unfortunately,
the marine layer made that impossible. I was lucky enough one time (about
ten years ago) to have been outside JUST as a launch went by off the coast,
and staged, and it was one of the coolest sights one could ever wish to
see...

Has anyone been to Vandenberg AFB to watch a launch? I'm curious if it's
worth the trip, if you can get close enough etc. I watched a shuttle take
off once. That was cool.
