Being the space nerd that I am, this is looking exciting
Launch has been pushed back to the end of the current launch window at 8:32 pm in Florida (00:32 UTC) due to high level winds at the original time of 6:30. If there is a hold for any reason now, the launch will be scrubbed.
SpaceX will be attempting to recover all three boosters; the two side boosters back to LZ1 and LZ2 at The Cape, and the core booster to the drone ship OCISLY positioned 1000k/m downrange. If this all works it will be the first time that three boosters have been recovered, and the longest range booster recovery to date. If they succeed, that is around 90% hardware recovery for reuse.
