Musk: SpaceX to Attempt Falcon 9 First Stage Water Landing

I rarely resubmit articles, I've only done it 2 or 3 times for articles usually about SpaceX, articles that I know will catch on if they get the initial upvotes to get them to the front page.

This submission never reached the front page, it only got 2 upvotes before falling of https://news.ycombinator.com/newest

I resubmitted it a few hours later (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5459777) and it got 70+ upvotes, and 20+ comments - the kind of HN response I wanted from it.
