Space Launch Delta 45's weather squadron expects a 95% chance of good conditions for the Thursday attempt, which means that residents of Brevard, Orange, Osceola, Indian River, Seminole, Volusia, Polk, and St. Lucie counties may hear one or more sonic booms depending on the weather and other conditions.

The early morning launch could also bring a loud surprise in the form of sonic booms to the Space Coast and surrounding counties as the booster for the flight makes a return to Canaveral's Landing Zone 1 instead of downrange in the Atlantic. SpaceX warns residents to be prepared for the noise, which is expected to be loud enough to wake people up.

The nearly $1 billion PACE satellite sits atop a Falcon 9 rocket ready for liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Space Launch Complex 40, delayed from planned early Tuesday and Wednesday attempts due to high winds. The new launch time is scheduled for 1:33 am on Thursday.

For those who are not familiar with the phenomenon of sonic booms, it is a loud noise that occurs when an object breaks the sound barrier. In this case, the Falcon 9 rocket booster will be producing sonic booms as it returns to Earth after launching the PACE satellite into space.

While some people may find the noise disturbing, others might appreciate the opportunity to experience a rare and unique event. For those who are interested in hearing the sonic booms, it is recommended to find a safe location away from the launch site and to follow any instructions provided by local authorities.

In conclusion, the upcoming SpaceX launch is expected to produce several sonic booms that will be audible to residents of the surrounding counties. While some people may not appreciate the noise, others might enjoy the unique experience of hearing the sound barrier being broken. Whether you are a space enthusiast or just interested in witnessing a rare event, make sure to find a safe location and follow any instructions provided by local authorities.

My heart goes boom boom boom sonic
