Watch this stuff. Essentially SpaceX is going to launch this satellite for NASA then try to land their Dragon rocket on a floating pad in the ocean.

Edit: High winds at Cape Canaveral. Launch is now Wednesday.

Apparently it ran out of hydraulic fluid last time, so they added more this launch.

It was the stability fins I believe, don't know what the issue was, I guess hydraulics like you said, but seems like a pretty fixable problem.
