Any OT ballers care to loan me 50mil so I can check out the giant blueberry from a multi billion dollar tin can traveling at 17,000 MPH.

Success probability of barge landing today (via Elon): Less than 50%

May be a weather delay

SpaceX webcast now live. (linked in OP)
Weather is closing in on constraint limit quickly.
If weather is no go, it's a scrub for the day.
