I'm also excited about the on-land landing attempt. Should be August 9: http://spacexstats.com/mission.php?launch=25 http://spacexstats.com/mission.php?launch=2

  I haven't seen any recent comment that they actually received permission to land on land.

    There has been a few mentions of it over the past month or so that have made it to reddit.com/r/spacex(Gwynne Shotwell was the first to mention it) for the JASON-3 mission in august the jist so far is the barge will be off the coast (but relatively close) and a decision for RTLS or Barge Landing will take place just before launch

  Didn't know it was that soon- awesome! I do wonder how much PR is motivating these blog posts. I'm sure an incoming rocket (basically, a missile) would scare local citizens, so it won't hurt to get these positive tests and lessons learned out in front of people.

  I live in LA, if they are actually going to attempt a return to land, it's going to be hard to resist going up there to try to catch a glimpse of it.

    Where is it?

      Vandenberg. But seeing anything might be a challenge. They don't let anybody near there during launches. http://www.spacearchive.info/vafbview.htm http://www.spacearchive.info/vafbview.htm
