Yes, but the actuator issue was on the second stage not the first stage,

With the new launch time being bumped up by 1 hour, it will make the
launch and recovery effort take place in pre-dawn darkness. Not sure
how easy it
will be to observe the landing attempt should it be video streamed.

Note that this flight, Dragon is returning cargo and is to land and be
recovered in the Pacific.


Just to be be clear I was referring to the attempt to recover the first
stage on the SpaceX autonomous drone ship out in the Atlantic off the coast
of Jacksonville Fla. Not the Dragon capsule.

I was wondering about lighting conditions. How far east is the recovery?
