Yeah but how many have launched at an appropriate hour to create this effect? You'd have to be within around 30 minutes of dawn or dusk to see this.

It's a much wider timeframe, realistically from some time before civil twilight until sometime after astronomical twilight, even a conservative estimate on that would give you 5-6hrs of time where it would likely be visible.
