Ahh the wonders and frustrations of watching a private company do its thing without having to tell us anything until it suits them.
Departing Port Canaveral right now - the gizmo is on the deck of OCISLY - four jack stands on a much larger octagonal base right down on the deck - I got a lot of photos on my good camera, but not on the phone, so I'll post a link when I get back at the end of the week if no one else beats me to it. Wanted to send this while still in cell phone range

I think something urgent happened right before this picture was taken. Notice that there are several guys apparently running towards it...
It look like the already made a few spins around the deck with it
