Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream Entrepreneur Elon Musk’s SpaceX is set to launch a government weather satellite from Cape Canaveral, Fla., at 3:03 p.m. Pacific today. But the company said it would not then try to land the rocket on an ocean barge as it had long planned. The landing attempt had gained widespread attention because of its potential to revolutionize space travel. In a statement Wednesday, SpaceX said that it had to call off the landing attempt because of waves in the Atlantic that were up to three stories high. The company has stationed a barge – which it calls its drone ship – more than 300 miles east of Florida’s coast.
