UPDATE: As you saw if you watched, they aborted the launch for today because of technical issues. If it goes up tomorrow, it will be at 9:38 a.m. EST.

In about one hour and twenty minutes from this posting, SpaceX is launching a supply rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. (Launch estimated at 10:01 a.m. EST in the US). If it goes as scheduled, you can watch it live below. Here are the details from the YouTube site
SpaceX is targeting a late morning launch of its tenth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-10) from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is on Saturday, February 18 at 10:01 a.m. EST, with a backup launch opportunity at 9:38 a.m. EST on Sunday, February 19. Dragon will separate from Falcon 9’s second stage about 10 minutes after liftoff and attach to the station roughly two days later.
The CRS-10 mission will be SpaceX’s first launch from historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. Following stage separation, the first stage of Falcon 9 will attempt to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
Thanks for that. I saw my first model S, up close and personal the other day. Such a beautiful car.
Aborted. They will try again tomorrow morning.
Launch scrubbed until tomorrow am.
The transportation cost per cwt. would be about $800,000 if the launch was about $40 million. Maybe a low number as I have no idea how much each launch would be.
Launch was successful on Sunday AM. Nice shots of first stage landing on youtube.
