According to SpaceX website, there is a launch scheduled for tonight. Here is the information: 

"SpaceX is targeting Friday, February 17 for launch of the Inmarsat I-6 F2 mission to orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 89-minute launch window opens at 10:59 p.m. ET (03:59 UTC on February 18). If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Saturday, February 18 with the same window. The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Crew-5 and GPS III Space Vehicle 06. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean."

 

So if you are awake starting at 10:59 PM ET, look northwest. I'll post more if I find out anything else. I wonder how far out in the ocean the droneship will be? Anyone else know anything? Could be very interesting.
