Falcon 9's countdoown sequence was aborted about 1,5 mins prior to launch, so they won't be doing the recovery test today. Appearantly there was an issue with actuator drift in the vectorisation of the rocket's propulsion system (if I understood the NASA guys correctly). Next launch attempt is on friday.

ah well, patience is a virtue I guess

yeah... :(

Launch Update

During the terminal count engineers observed drift on one of the two thrust vector actuators on the second stage that would likely have caused an automatic abort. Engineers called a hold in order to take a closer look. SpaceX is scrubbed for today and we are now targeting launch on Jan. 9th at 5:09am ET.
