Would like to see another poll question: When will we see the first footage of a F9 first stage landing on the ASDS?

@coypu76 did say "landing on the ASDS", so I can't claim I'm right unless we actually see some ASDS.)
Elon now up to 60% chance of landing on the ship this time. About 9:30 or so.
Elon elaborated on the grid fin issue at a recent Q & A, where he states that SpaceX needs "to make sure our hydraulic actuators don't run out of fluid and go hard over".

I voted for center. We know that the stage can get to the ASDS even with the grid-fin hydraulic failure, so absent another mechanical failure, I see no reason why the stage should not stick a dead-center landing.
Also my first ever post after years of lurking, L2 is awesome and please be gentle!
