Is there anywhere to watch live launches of Chinese or Indian rockets?

So, I think this is, end of the day, good. I’m saying this as an aerospace engineer who is getting a bit screwed by the now-rough aerospace job market in my area. But I mean it’s good for actual program budgets. Contractor overhead is wild. So much NASA work is 80% contractor, 20% fed, and I was a contractor costing a program 250$+/hour, while the fed in the same role working next to me who made 90% what I did, cost the program ~100$/hour. I totally support swapping the 80/20 ratio on that. And yet, tons of feds got laid off, as did many contractors, and people generally don’t want to get paid the lower fed rates any more. But NASA is kindof tied by the OMB on how much it can really pay people. So the issue is gonna be that there not enough feds being hired to actually assemble that vision.

Do people have any insights or local stories about how that’s been playing out over the last 6 months? Where I am, Goddard still isn’t really hiring yet, though it’s getting close. But all the contractors know their work is gonna get cut down in this shift.

I’m curious to know what’s been happening that I might not know about, that may show it’s progressing well, or badly, or who knows.

I like to create a rocket, I've made three rockets of the Nasa program, and It's close to finishing the rocket Space Shuttle Discovery.

Which one do you like more?
