all hail the mighty flying space pencil!
Reminds me of this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2BF20fDftA
The 10 Iridium satellites are in good orbits, so 100% mission success.
Just another 60 Iridium satellites to go.
The next launch is scheduled for 26th Jan from Florida this time. The payload is the Echostar 23 satellite.
Because their usual pad 40 is still being repaired, they'll be using launch pad 39a for the first time - formerly home of the Space Shuttle and Apollo programs.
They'll try to bring the first stage down to the landing ship, Of Course I Still Love You, a little later.

I think if I was SpaceX I might insist it went up empty as you say - its a huge risk.
