Quote from: Lar on 01/05/2016 04:29 amIt's probably not a HUGE difference. Except for an ASDS landing. It could be days between when the core lands and when it's in JAX or the port of LA and a crane attaches.That's what the weldable shoes are for. Agreed the crane thing is wrong; "secured" anyhow should suffice.

I think, if the FH demo flight launches in 16, they'll likely recover all 3 cores via RTLS.Why wouldn't they keep the simulated payload mass low enough for that missin profile?Regarding the above reference to 5 FH launches, I think they will be successful to get 1 FH off the ground in 16, 2 would be massively successful.

This poll is like trying to guess how many flights they would make in 2018 from back in 2008.
