Recently, NASA has been actively involved in promoting its work and everything related to space. In general, NASA has always worked a lot “to the public” (and rightly so, now astronautics is becoming a popular topic again), but now, in the context of a budget deficit, the agency is trying to get people interested in space, planets and space ships. So, on November 6, at 23:14 (ET, Eastern Standard Time), a space launch on the ISS will be broadcast in real time on Times Square.
By the way, the launch will be carried out from the Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. This launch is different from the others in that it will be broadcast in real time on Times Square, and in that for several days nine people will live on the ISS. This (the simultaneous residence of so many people) has not happened since October 2009. True, four days later, three people will return to Earth.

According to representatives of NASA, the broadcast was decided to hold, including because the ISS is the fruit of people from many countries. And New York, as one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, is perfectly suited for broadcasting the launch of the ship to, again, the International Space Station.
By the way, this broadcast is not the first time. The launch of Curiosity on Mars was also shown on the specified area. So who will be in or around New York at the time of launch, be sure to visit Times Square. Of course, all this can be viewed at home or in the office, here on this page:
