Go For Launch Sticker — see it in our Printful store, opens in a new tab

The status call every launch waits for, on a glossy white vinyl kiss-cut sticker: the design is cut through, the square backing is not, so it peels off clean. Water resistant, not waterproof; fine on a laptop or water bottle, fading in full sun over time. 3 in, 4 in or 5.5 in (7.6, 10 or 14 cm) square.

Pad Zero Founders Sticker — see it in our Printful store, opens in a new tab

The Pad Zero wordmark for people who were here early. Glossy white vinyl, kiss-cut with a square backing, water resistant rather than waterproof. The white vinyl means no transparent background. 3 in, 4 in or 5.5 in (7.6, 10 or 14 cm) square.

Earth to Mars Print — see it in our Printful store, opens in a new tab

Our own drawing of the trip, on 189 g/m² matte paper that does not glare under a lamp. A2, which is 16.5 by 23.3 in (42 by 59 cm). Ships rolled; no frame, and the paper is not archival grade, so keep it out of direct sun.

T-Minus 00:10 Mug — see it in our Printful store, opens in a new tab

Ten seconds to go, printed around a black glossy ceramic mug. 11 oz (325 ml) or 15 oz (445 ml). Listed as dishwasher and microwave safe, though black mugs show scratches more than white ones and hand washing keeps the print sharp. The printed black is a shade off the mug's black up close.

Sizes: 11 oz, 15 oz

Next Stop: Mars T-Shirt — see it in our Printful store, opens in a new tab

Printed to order on a Bella + Canvas 3001, the soft 4.2 oz (142 g/m²) combed ring-spun cotton tee with a tear-away label. Unisex retail fit: true to size but slim, so size up for a relaxed fit. Dark colors feel a little heavier where the print is; it softens after the first wash. Wash cold, inside out, and skip the hot dryer.

Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL

Vortex Triumph HD 12x50 binoculars — see it on Amazon, opens in a new tab

Every public spot is miles from the pad. At 12 times magnification you can follow the rocket well after it is a dot to the eye, and the 50 mm lenses gather light for night launches.

The catch: 12 times also magnifies every shake. Rest your elbows on a car roof or a railing, and pick an 8x or 10x pair instead if steady hands or small hands are a concern.

A phone tripod with a remote — search on Amazon, opens in a new tab

Your phone stays steady and pointed at the pad while you watch with your own eyes, and a remote starts the video without touching it.

The catch: A phone's wide lens makes the rocket small. Expect a record of the moment, not a close-up.

A power bank — search on Amazon, opens in a new tab

Streaming the official webcast for two hours of waiting drains a phone, and you'll want the battery for the launch itself.

The catch: Charge it the night before; an empty power bank is just weight.

A folding camp chair — search on Amazon, opens in a new tab

Most people wait two hours or more, and few spots have seats.

The catch: Bulky to carry from a far parking spot. A blanket does the job on sand.

A headlamp with a red light — search on Amazon, opens in a new tab

Beaches and parks are dark for night launches. Red light keeps your eyes adjusted to the dark and doesn't blind the people next to you.

The catch: Of no use in daylight; skip it for a daytime launch.

Insect repellent — search on Amazon, opens in a new tab

Mosquitoes come out at dusk on the Florida riverfront and the South Texas coast.

The catch: Don't spray it upwind of other people, and wash it off your binocular lenses.

A packable warm jacket — search on Amazon, opens in a new tab

The Vandenberg coast is often foggy, windy and cold, even after a warm day inland.

The catch: If the fog is in, the launch may be heard more than seen, jacket or not.
