I know space landed the first stage rocket last launch. Would love to see them keep doing it to save money on rockets and use that money on more probes and research.

That was very exciting to see that first stage land upright on land,Looked like Buck Rogers Science fiction.

This is a biggie today also if they can land the first stage on the barge.They eventually want to land the second stage too.

really cuts costs recovering the first stage space x says.

1 hour thirty eight minutes to launch,activity picking up,still coastal fog,hope it burns up by launch.Also hope we get to see barge landing attempt live.
