SpaceX attempts its first launch of a reused Falcon 9 tomorrow, March 30

SpaceX is scheduled to take the next step towards its rocket reusability goal this Thursday.
The launch of the SES-10 satellite is scheduled for launch at 6:27 p.m. EDT (22:27 GMT) p.m. EDT from the historic Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center.
SpaceX performed a static fire of the previously-flown rocket's nine main engines while on the pad Monday.  The Falcon 9 rocket was first launched April 2016 during the CRS-8 mission, where it successfully landed on the autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS), Of Course I Still Love You, in the Atlantic Ocean.
