The point I was trying to make was to answer a question in L2 about whether it was ASDS or RTLS. It got moved here, I guess it wasn't worthy enough of an answer to the question in L2. I already knew the weather forecast had been upgraded.

From the NASA page on SpaceX CRS-10 Briefings and Events: "SpaceX also is planning to attempt to land its Falcon 9 first stage on land."
Might also add that on Friday 2-17-2017 there is a LAUNCH COMPLEX 39A BRIEFING
NASA and SpaceX will host a briefing, followed by a question-and-answer period, in front of SpaceX’s Launch Complex 39A. The event at 3 p.m. will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website.
Participants will be:
Robert Cabana, director, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center
Gwynne Shotwell, president and COO, SpaceX

No Hans. I expect having the dragon mission manager (Jessica Jensen) on the pre-launch news conference will limit questions about other missions. This has become typical with these press conferences having lots of questions from the media about launch cadence, FH, and re-use.
However, maybe Shotwell will answer some of those questions. Although, I think she is better at giving generic answers.

Also. We should see Falcon being raised to vertical on 39A any minute now on SFN's live stream

Depending on late load requirements, it may not go vertical until much closer to launch, like L-12hours. It may also go vertical as a test and then return to horizontal for late load.

wish the livestream was HD, but apart from that, I can't really complain 
But you did complain!
And HD would be useless with all that intervening air.
If you have to complain make it about the RSS, which is blocking our view.
There was someone whose happiness we gauged not by whether or not he complained but on the nature of his complaints. When they got to the trivial level of not having HD or having much of the rocket hidden by the RSS, we knew he was happy, as am I.
edit: Mech31 is right. Don't they have a late load something like T-24 hr?

Thye could be testing TEL->Dragon/payload umbilicals

Anyone else confused by the view? It seems like the TEL is 90° off...are we looking from the north?

Yes, Trevor was north of the pad (he was at 39B). We're seeing the reaction frame and rocket through the huge gap under the RSS.

I'm looking at the stream currently, a tree is blocking the gap between the pad and RSS, no Falcon in sight.

I guess this is what happens when we don't quote posts. I assumed DecoLV was talking about TMalhmann's pictures, as referenced in this post.

The Spaceflight Now stream appears to be looking east from the either the KSC visitors center or maybe even Titusville.

Yes, sorry I did mean TMahlmann...Im on phone. I've got it sorted now, but I wish we could have the view from the HIF axis.

L2 Flow Notes include: Vertical for a Dry Dress Rehearsal. Horizontal on Friday for Dragon Late Cargo Loading. Vertical for launch day Saturday.
Do they return to the Horizontal Integration Facility for Dragon Late Cargo Loading, or do it on the pad surface?
