Will the Falcon 9 on this launch land back at Kennedy Space Centre?

Colin,
No, it will land out on the “Of Course I Still Love You” Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS) some 6 or so minutes after launch. It will now be transported back to Port Canaveral.

Thanks for the info Jason, I’m still getting up to speed on this technology, so I will be following live events.
nice!
So nice to be back on this wonderful site Jason.It was also nice to meet Mr.Pete Anselmo from radio station WMEL as well.I had fully intended to watch the launch of the Falcon 9 the other night,however a friend stopped over who I used to work with before retiring,and although I was aware of launch,after his departure I totally forgot about the launch until after it happened.Because of this,I thank you for keeping the launch on so that people like me can catch it a few days later.Thanks again so much.Greg
