I just love this because as cool as it is to land rockets, SpaceX up till now has been focusing on decreasing costs and breaking into the launch market. This is the first time they're expanding what's possible to send to space. They're not just the cheap launch provider, but the provider with the most capable rocket.

Oh and 12 hours!

Every 30 minutes it's being delayed 30 minutes. Man was I hoping for a launch right at 11:30!

Hype videos

Ok, doubt it launches today. It's being continuously kept 2 hours away and wind doesn't seem to be improving.
