They seem to be showing a video about some dodgy-looking guys launching a home-made rocket in somwhere like Peru.

Either that or they were building the worlds largest tampon

I was out so I got them to delay it, good ol' boys.

When this happens do they have to make sure they don't return to it and then wait for a responsible adult to put it in a bucket of water?

Had they run out of duct tape?

The landing of the first stage was the important issue with this mission from Space X. A controlled landing on a barge in the Atlantic.

The rescheduled launch is 8pm Friday my time (GMT+11), or 9am UK time (at least according to the current NASA TV schedule).

Who'll be watching it live?

I will, and will be hoping no technical issues occur this time.

It looks like the next SpaceX shuttle launch will be 7:30pm tomorrow/Saturday, not 8pm today as they said on Wednesday.

Cheers for that - a diary altering moment!

Sorry, I should have mentioned: that time above is GMT+11, i.e. my time zone. So I guess that makes the next launch at 8:30am tomorrow UK time.
@Turbo Rider : just in case you missed this post, make sure you put 8:30am Sat in your diary, not 7:30pm Sat. (I'm assuming your 'Croydon' is in the UK?)

Scribble, scribble.

40% of 'launch weather constraint violation', not odds I'd bet on.
