SpaceX is targeting launch of its eleventh Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-11) from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida on Saturday, June 3 at 5:07 p.m. EDT or 21:07 UTC.
The CRS-11 mission will be the first reflight of a Dragon spacecraft and will mark the 100th 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.

At what point in the launch do you expect the rocket to explode? I say just before Max-Q.

Uh, been there...done that. I got the T-shirt, polo, mission patch and the video to show for it. Not this SpX...but previous ones...Plus a Cygnus and 2 Shuttle launches (one night from the VAB).

I was driving to the SSPF one day and I stay in Cape Canaveral at the Residence Inn there...and when I passed the cruise ship terminal I saw something standing on a barge, all burned and everything....when I got up on it...I realized it was the first returned stage they landed successfully...Pretty cool stuff.
When the shuttles were launching they simulcast the audio between the LCC and the Orbiter on the local amateur radio repeaters (2m) so if you didn't have a good parking place on the causeway where the outdoor speakers were...you could listen...I don't know what was better...listening to the launch director that way or listening the Blue Angels on their freqs during practice one year at HSV.

Did I hear correctly there when they said this is a re-flight...or the next launch will be it?
And is the "Dragon" the command module or the delivery stage?

They ALREADY reused a booster and successfully recovered it in March. On that flight, they also flew and steered the clamshell that goes around the payload at the top of the rocket into a recovery zone and successfully recovered it in one piece. It usually breaks up and is lost during a launch.
This launch was the first flight of a reused Dragon. That's the capsule up at the top of the rocket that actually goes up and docks with the space station. The rest of the rocket stack was new.
Next launch will be another reused first stage.
