In the wee hours of Monday morning, Elon Musk's SpaceX is going to try to do something it's only done once before: Land a rocket back on solid ground after launching a spacecraft to orbit.
SpaceX (http://www.spacex.com/sites/spacex/files/spacex_crs9_press_kit.pdf) will attempt to land the first stage of the Falcon 9 booster on a launch pad in Florida after sending an uncrewed cargo spacecraft toward the International Space Station for a NASA resupply mission.

You can watch the launch and landing attempt live in the window below or directly through SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThIdCuSsJh8) or NASA TV (http://www.ustream.tv/NASAHDTV).
If successful, this will be the fifth rocket booster SpaceX has brought back to Earth for a soft landing. The first land landing occurred at the end of 2015. Read more...
