Well now they know they can't let their fully-fueled rocket sit on the pad for 30mins or their super-cooled liquid oxygen is going to get too warm...which makes launch windows pin-point strict now.

I would seek legal compensation from the operators of that ship if I were the satellite company. Not to mention SpaceX compensation for the fuel prep.
6:35 PM EST tonight, attempt #4, if you need something to do while waiting for Super Tuesday results to come in.
Balls, I might be at dinner with friends for this one tonight. Damnit. Screw it, I'll watch it on my phone. Hopefully its another scrub. :/
You got your wish you fucker
Musk on twitter:Pushing launch to Friday due to extreme high altitude wind shear. Hits like a sledgehammer when going up supersonic
Waraji confirmed for wish granting asshole.
LOL... Fucking Friday though. Godamn I should have wished for something better...
Should be a go in 20 minutes weather (and Waraji) permitting.
fucker
Liftoff targeting 6:35pm ET http://www.spacex.com/webcast
T-minus 9 minutes and counting
Cmonnnn!!!!!!
Liftoff!
15 mins or so to the landing attempt.
Second stage separation complete!
lulz, cut to droneship, crap camera feed, bright flash, and then colorbars lol
Probably exploded, but not sure yet.
Looks like mission success otherwise, still awaiting final word on the landing attempt.
So this happened...

I'm pretty floored by the whole article really. To think ULA was really this corrupt, I mean it didn't take a genius to know they were playing unfairly, but still.“The government was not happy with us not bidding that, because they bent over backwards to lean the field to our advantage,” Tobey said.
This is not something Air Force procurement officers want to see quoted in the next SpaceX lawsuit. Nor is it something that McCain was happy to hear. At a hearing this morning, he called for an investigation into the contract.
Sorry forgot to update for the next launch.
But uh.. Yeah, they did it.
It was a Nominal launch, with nominal barge conditions.
