Space-X is going to try to land a rocket on a boat tomorrow

7

I find this stuff fascinating, so just sharing. You my or may not be aware of the Space-X push to make their rocket's first stager reusable which if successful will do a lot to reduct the cost of getting stuff up into orbit. That's what the whole grasshopper thing is all about.

They are scheduled to launch tomorrow at 4:47 AM, the live stuff starts at 4:30. The landing is only given a 50/50 chance at this point and that part won't be broadcast (I don't think). I plan on staying up tonight to watch.
