Chris is that an actual picture of the installation at Stennis? If so are there any more?
This photo:Is the rocket on the right carrying Dragon v2? It seems to be encased in an unusual fairing.
We will attempt our next water landing on flight 13 of Falcon 9, but with a low probability of success,” SpaceX continued. “Flights 14 and 15 will attempt to land on a solid surface with an improved probability of success.”
@Rand_Simberg @FLspacereport Talked to Gwynne yesterday and she confirmed that they're working permission on flyback, but next landing will be on a barge.>@Rand_Simberg@JustIncidentals No more water landings. And Spaceport America has cost more and taken longer than expected. @flspacereport @spacecom
I think Chris works on actual information, not twitter rumors that could be badly misworded.
The Pad could also be “upgraded” – by building additional FSS levels – potentially hosting the initial version of the monster rocket SpaceX has planned for the push towards the human colonization of Mars.
I found the image of the barge to be very interesting. I wonder is that the actual barge they plan on using, at least initially? Also seeing it parked in a basin or a river gave me the idea that they might try to land the stage with the barge in a basin or river. It would most likely be much more stable that way. I would bet there might be a lot of fairly isolated rivers up the coast.
How does,
