Falcon 9 - First stage to be recovered!

Weather permitting.
From what I've read, they're uging NASA's SRB recovery ships for this.
It really makes sense to recover the first stage. Even if it's not able
to be reused, it can be inspected. Post flight inspection could reveal
problems with the luanch vehicle which would otherwise go unnoticed.
