Elon Musk’s SpaceX will yet again try to make aerospace history by launching and then trying to land its drone rocket in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship, Of Course I Still Love You, will bring a Japanese satellite into orbit and will be heading up around 1:20 a.m. EST.
The landing will be more difficult than the successful touchdown of a Falcon 9 rocket in April, since will have less fuel to slow down and will be moving on a “very hot and fast mission,” Musk tweeted.
Watch the launch live above starting at 1:20 a.m. EST.
