   I'm signed up for e-mail announcements from SpaceX of impending   
   launches. I was interested to note that in the announcement for this   
   launch, they said:   
      
   "Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9's first   
   stage on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship, which will be   
   stationed in the Atlantic Ocean."   
      
   Not so long ago, the wording was "... first stage will ATTEMPT to land   
   on ...". They are becoming confident :-|
