Yeah, why would it be 10% more likely to land?
At this point, shouldn't it be ~100% likely to land? Are they saying it
takes it from 90% to 99%?
Or, if those aren't the kind of numbers they're looking at, how are they
ever going to get 10 landings in a row?
Should be an interesting test.

Hmm. Winds? FWIW, the Canaveral weather includes a "beach hazard
bulletin" warning of rough surf and strong offshore winds this evening.

SpaceX worked through the issues and got their static fire test done
late Friday. They currently hope to launch in a brief window at 8:29 pm
eastern Sunday. (Next window would be Tuesday.) Best wishes to their
operations crew for a successful flight in time for all to be home for
Christmas.
