It was a warm day, lots of heat shimmer in the pics. Not as clear as I'd like.
What is the next most probable launch from Vandenberg - CONAE or Jason-3? I see multiple sources (JPL, CNES) citing March 2015 as the launch period for Jason-3.
Do you (or somebody else) have a link to those "revelations made back in April."? Can't remember seeing anything explicit.
Does the TE now have room for three cores? I.e. FH.

Is this the first sighting of such TE?
Looking closely at that first picture at the top I see that the TE runs on rubber tires. I thought the TE in Florida used steel rails. Wondering if tires give them some needed stearability.
A shot from the other side.
