***Update*** SpaceX will attempt the barge lading again today (13 April) at 4:33pmET.
It's been less than a full month since SpaceX tried to land one of its rockets on a floating platform in the Atlantic ocean, but the team is already prepared to give it a second shot.
Sunday (8 Feb) at approximately 6:10 ET, the company will launch the Falcon 9 rocket from the 45th Space Wing in Cape Canaveral Florida. About a half hour later, the rocket will return from space and attempt to land itself on an autonomous, self-stabilizing ocean platform.
You should be able to catch the launch live at http://www.spaceflightnow.com
Please cheer on our RallyPoint SpaceX veterans and 45th SW service members tomorrow!
