Looks like launch is a go for this evening. They will NOT be able to attempt the first stage landing though due to extreme weather in the Atlantic.

Sadly, though the deep space aspect of the mission is interesting, the stage landing was the only really must-see-TV aspect of the launch itself.

This mission was supposed to serve as the second test of the company's reusable Falcon 9, but SpaceX just announced that's no longer the case. The weather in the Atlantic Ocean is causing swells up to three stories high, and one of the autonomous drone ship's engines isn't functioning. Instead, SpaceX will perform a "soft landing," which means the rocket will splash down in the ocean and won't likely be recovered.
