SpaceX is getting ready to launch JCSAT-14, about one hour from now.

Here's the official webcast link (should start with actual content ~20 minutes before launch): http://www.spacex.com/webcast

If this is a dupe let me know, but I couldn't find it.

Any idea if they're going to try and land the booster?

Yes, they're going to try. The drone ship is out to sea waiting for it. That being said, this is a fairly high/fast/heavy launch, so it's not got the best chance of success.

Looks like at least another hour to launch.  Not gonna stay up for it unfortunately.

Awesome.

Is that thing supposed to be on fire like that after engine shutdown ?

I got a pic of the launch from my backyard.

It did look like they had a post shut down fire.  They even hit it indirectly with a spray.  I wonder if it was salt water?  That salt can't be good for the motors.

Wow, stuck the landing and they weren't expecting to.

These guys will get to Mars.   Fuck yeah.
