If they do, it's a new era in space exploration, the cost will have just been cut by a factor of ten(Yes Pangea, you don't care for Musk, saved you the typin').

It doesn't really bother me, it's you just copy and paste that same remark into every SpaceX thread You are so predictable so I pre-empted you. |

Not until I retire from my current job. I have actually thought of sending my resume to SpaceX in a few years, I have a mutual friend who knows Musk pretty well.

More info on the attempt to recover the first stage. There is much more worth reading at the sourced article.
Source "SpaceX engineers are gearing up to launch a Dragon cargo ship atop a Falcon 9 rocket Friday for the company's fifth operational space station resupply mission. And if all goes well, the Falcon 9's first stage will attempt to land on a barge stationed off the coast of Jacksonville, Fla., a key milestone in SpaceX founder Elon Musk's drive to lower costs by reusing boosters that otherwise would be discarded in the sea. The Marmac 300, a platform barge listed on McDonough Marine Service's website and modified for use by SpaceX, features a spacious deck measuring 300 feet long and 170 feet wide. The barge, which SpaceX calls an autonomous spaceport drone ship, was seen by reporters over the weekend docked adjacent to the Jacksonville cruise ship terminal." Much more worth reading at the sourced article |

Delayed until January 6, 2015 Range slackers don't wanna work a holiday! Certainly the holidays may be a big factor. There is also the point about the test firing that did not go as planned. Plus add in possible lighting constraints for the first stage landing and you may come up with the new launch date. |

Actually, it is the beta angle at the ISS. Makes for docking in the shade, a no-no. They are waiting for it to improve, it is a seasonal thing.

Thanks for the update. Here is an article about the launch:
Article "SpaceX is poised to kick off Cape Canaveral's 2015 launch campaign with a 6:20 a.m. Tuesday attempt to boost another batch of cargo to the International Space Station.: Yuck. 420 AM MST. My info shows sunrise in that area as 717 AM so this means a night launch and improved visibility further from the launch site. A camera on a tripod, using a bulb setting for a longer exposure could yield a nice picture. |

Mine actually wasn't a dupe since you have not updated the fact they are now going to try landing the rocket but I will give this thread a bump with the new updated article.

The ISS (space station) will make a pass over that area around 553 AM EST when it is at max elevation (32 degrees) in the southeast. It is moving from southwest to northeast. It should be easily visible.
