I just looked at the spacex.com/webcast site and it looks good. When I read the additional information link I saw this:
"This mission also marks SpaceX’s return-to-flight as well as its first attempt to land a first stage on land." I hope that they are successful with all objectives. |

They are going to try and boost back the 1st stage to a land landing at the cape.

Company I work for has about 130 valves on the Falcon 9.
Needless to say we'll all be watching very closely! |

I am glad the get to attempt the landing on land this time.
They have done it quit a bit in Texas, but not from an actual launch. |

Fingers crossed for a successful return to flight and delivery of payload to proper orbit! Admittedly the part I'm most excited about is the possibility of them sticking a landing, but I realize that's just icing on the cake.
Got a lot of friends who work for SpaceX in Hawthorne, those guys must be nervous as hell right now... |

Very cool live broadcast on the SpaceX website. I suppose watching this is a little like what my parents felt like watching the Apollo launches.
Hope they succeed with all their objectives. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

They indicated that they should be able to show the first stage landing if all goes well. That occurs ten minutes after launch according to the schedule above.
