This is an audacious test flight of a very new kind of spaceship.
All stainless steel, 17 stories tall, it will launch to 12.5km then "bellyflop" like a skydiver steering with outstretched hands, before swivelling round for a powered landing on its tail. It will be a spectacular success or a spectacular failure. Either way, it'll be a hell of a show.
Tuesday's attempt was aborted at T minus 1 second, but they have clearance to try again on Wednesday.
Same window - 8am-5pm CST
Remember, it's quite possible that they will scrub for today and try again tomorrow.
I'll update this OP with the new date if that happens.
This fantastic infographic from Tony Bela tells you everything you need to know:
Official SpaceX stream will go live very shortly before launch
Alternative streams are already broadcasting
