Worried you missed today’s SpaceX launch, with its historic attempt to land the first stage of the rocket on a drone ship using hypersonic grid fins? Fear not, you didn’t miss a thing.
That’s because it didn’t happen. According to Elon, the whole dealio has been put off until January 6 at 6:18 AM, eastern time. Tweeteth he,
Falcon/Dragon launch punted to early Jan. Need time to review all systems thoroughly again.
