SpaceX has a lot to win or lose by this success or failure.

Surely, you aren't surprised by a delay launching a rocket? I think it would be more of a surprise if they launched on time.

Meh. They'll have several attempts at this throughout the year. Looks like this launch is getting pushed back to Friday in any case. "Actuator drift" they say. I was pumped. 
This is why I never made it down to watch a Shuttle launch. Probably get there just in time for an abort and wasted airfare.

That launch was sexy. 
Awesome how they put cameras in the fuel tanks.

i kind of had a WTF moment when it switched to the fuel tank. had no idea what was going on for a moment.
shame there wasn't any footage of the first stage landing, even if it wasn't totally successful.
