In just over 13 hours from now, SpaceX is scheduled to launch their Dragon spacecraft on top of their Falcon 9 rocket on a resupply mission to the International Space Station. This will be the fifth such mission. After 2-3 days approaching the station, Dragon will dock with the ISS for 30 days before reentry and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Perhaps more notable is that during the launch, after stage separation, the first stage will attempt to land, upright, on a barge stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Live coverage will begin at 6AM EST spacex/webcast/ and https://youtube/watch?v=Ohnnl4nOcGU
