Admittedly, I was still confused after reading about the mission on RocketLab's website. Overall, it seems like the rocket is launching to gather data about radio frequencies.

How can you watch the NASA Electron Rocket launch in NJ?

Per NJ.com, there are a lot of variables to keep in mind when planning to watch the launch. First, the weather has to be clear (which looks good so far). Second, the rocket launch is scheduled from 6 to 8 PM, which is a pretty big window of time, so you'll want to be prepared. And finally, when the rocket does launch, you'll only have from one to two minutes to catch it.

If you'd rather catch the launch from the couch, you can watch it on a livestream from Rocket Lab's website.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
