SpaceX Launch Pushed Back One Day

SpaceX delayed the launch of a Japanese moon lander that had been scheduled for early this morning, saying they needed more time for additional pre-flight checkouts. The rocket was set to go up today at 3:39am. Now, that launch has been pushed back until tomorrow morning at 3:37, weather permitting. The forecast so far looks promising, and there is an 80% go probability for tomorrow morning’s lift off. Minutes after the launch Thursday morning, the Falcon 9’s first stage booster will return and land at the Cape’s Landing Zone 1, meaning you might be awakened early tomorrow by some loud sonic booms as the 162-foot tall rocket returns to earth.
