The live aspect may be over or they may show a live firing of the Falcon 9 on Saturday (11 Feb 2017).

"The Falcon 9 rocket has been hoisted upright at pad 39A for a static fire test, which si now scheduled for some time Saturday.

This marks the first time a rocket has stood on the historic launch pad since July 2011, when the last space shuttle blasted off there.

The picture below was just shared on Instagram by SpaceX chief Elon Musk, who wrote:
"Falcon 9 rocket now vertical at Cape Canaveral on launch complex 39-A. This is the same launch pad used by the Saturn V rocket that first took people to the moon in 1969. We are honored to be allowed to use it.""
