Whoot! Love SpaceX launches. I cancel all meetings during the window.

Do we know if tomorrow's 6:27-8:57 p.m. EDT launch is scheduled to have the primary stage land? I think the last one didn't because of the weight of the payload and the need keep the burn going because of the weight, not sure about this one.

Yeah, the last one was fully expendable (the first one of those since 2015). This one is a landing on the drone ship OCISLY, but it's one of those "coming in hot" landings where fuel could be an issue if conditions aren't in their favor.

From my perspective, a successful launch is a huge win. A successful launch and landing is a game changer.

I agree, what this group of people have done is amazing. And they're only going to do more.

Whoa, looks like they're attempting to recover the fairings from this one too. (Frist time for that, and they're worth about a million each.) Nifty.

20% chance of breaking the Thick Cloud Layer Rule. Launch go is at 80%.

All systems and weather are go.

Eastern range is a go.
