Webcast - should start around 2:30

This is an unmanned ISS resupply mission.

Of note, they're planning on attempting a "recovery" (simulated) of the 1st stage in which it will do a deorbit burn, and then descend in a controlled fashion in to the Atlantic, like controlled enough to land safely if it was over land instead of water. See this Grashopper video for an idea of what I'm talking about.

Why do they pick odd times?? Why not say 4:00 or 3:30

These guys are getting paid by NASA or the government to do this work I assume. Is it costing them less to do it than it was for NASA?
