Elon Musk & Co. aren't optimistic about completing the maneuver this time either. In a press release about the launch, SpaceX noted "given this mission's unique GTO profile, a successful landing is not expected.​" However, it does mean that, success or failure, there's sure to be a livestream worth watching when the launch actually happens. Hopefully another boat won't venture into the safe area later today. You can follow along here when the time comes.

Update: The launch was successful! The live feed has ended without any update on the status of the landing (what we could see from the feed is in the GIF below), although the rocket has delivered its payload into orbit as planned. Once we have confirmation on the landing attempt, we will update this post, so stay tuned.

Update 2: Elon Musk tweeted that the "Rocket landed hard on the droneship," but says the next flight (scheduled in a couple of weeks) has a good chance of working out.

Rocket landed hard on the droneship. Didn't expect this one to work (v hot reentry), but next flight has a good chance. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 5, 2016
