NSF SpaceX ASDS Landing Bingo returns for the (as of 2018) mother of all SpaceX launches!!!!
For years it was only a rumor, an artist's concept, a video, a wind tunnel model, a paper rocket. The slowly, ever so slowly, things began to happen, a carbon nosecone spotted here, a strange thick octoweb spotted there, a flown booster taken back in the factory for surgery, strange lumps and bumps appearing on launch stands, pointy boosters being trucked across country and then as 2017 drew to a close, the myth became a legend as a giant new rocket rolled out into the light of day for the first time, a heavy duty experience to the Spacex fan! So now, in the next few days, that giant rocket will roar into the sky for its semi maiden flight (two boosters are flight veterans) and if all goes well all three boosters come back to Earth while launching a car into orbit around the Sun in an ambitious and audacious test flight. The robust Heavy Duty FH center core is to land out to sea and OCISLY is out there to catch it, so once again the game is afoot!
No shotgun start, the game is immediately open!
The game remains exactly as played in prior iterations. If its not broke don't fix it. :)

Pick your square, one per player. Closest square to the center engine when it comes to a halt gets the prize!
This includes post landing walkabouts!
No prize for fireballs, debris, or damage on deck!
If it hits the ship, goes kaboom, punctures holes in the deck, falls over in transit, there is no winner. Only a booster standing tall and triumphant as the ASDS sails into the harbor will generate a win!
Water squares used to be meaningless, if falls in the sea, no winners - no prize was the rule. However since GovSat decided to do its NO ASDS NO Problem swimabout, if you pick a water square, and it winds up floating in one piece you will receive a pair of rocket floaties for your efforts! :) (see attached picture)
This thread remains the official record of who chose what square when. For that reason any edited pick post is invalid.
Use Dan's scraper to see which spots have gone:
http://asds.dansdoorway.com
NOTE: There may sometimes be a slight delay of a few minutes at most between scraper updates, so check the last few posts before yours too, just to be sure. Scraper is operational as of this edit. Thanks to DanielW for setting the scraper up, it helps a lot!
Judging is by me, Helodriver using imagery of OCISLY sailing back into the harbor to help determine a winner. Rocketcams, helicopter or drone shots, and landing coverage will also be used, but where it sits at the time of unloading will be final.
Winner gets a SpaceX artifact, which has been recycled from its original purpose into a suitable prize. Winner also gets a one year L2 membership for free. If a current L2 member, you can donate it to another member (or add it to your own term length).
The winner will also get a signed picture of FH on its reveal day taken by me, suitable for framing.
Good luck SpaceX, Good luck FH, and Good luck to NSF readers! This is one Heavy Duty Mission!

If your name is on the above list, check out dan's page the link is in the opening post by Helodriver. You can search by your name and it will tell you why your selection failed. Pick an open square if you want to try again.

State of play (no need to discuss this, keep it on picks, but a quick one from me)....
Remember to check the opening post:
http://asds.dansdoorway.com - as we're into the realm of duplicates by now.
A number of new members (but usually long time guests/lurkers) are creating usernames to make a pick. I'm all for a joke or three (as you'll know if you follow me on Twitter), but let's not get too silly with the usernames, not because it bothers me, but because it results in a ten page letter of complaint from overly concerned parents who think NSF is corrupting their child with a naughty reference. Fair point, because the internet is usually a very tame place, right. ;)
But yeah, reference to sexual parts usernames aren't going to be allowed. ???
Look at those red dots of optimism! And keep picking. Remember "Go Home Your Drunk" Thaicom booster!

At this point, once every spot within the yellow circle is taken, there's not much point in picking unless they are experimenting with a hot GTO mission. But, since the other 3 corners have been taken, I'll go ahead and take the last one to even it out.

which one lands first.

I think without a doubt that everyone won today. I watched STS-135 go up and I think this affected me even more. Definitely a winner.

Oh well, we can always try again on STP-2.

Per the rules, water squares win a pair of water wings as a consolation prize if the booster lands in the ocean.... TRUST ME I did NOT want to win this. But win it I did (along with three others) ...
Except of course it's not "floating in one piece" so I'll take my water wings shredded... In spirit. Because I didn't really win.
We all did.

I think the proper prize is that SpaceX ship the rocket debry pieces to everyone who picked the square the debris fell on :D As Elon mentioned the droneship was blasted with shrapnel so there odd to be tons of memorabilia on various squares ;)

I hope that the piece I'm awarded from my square (K-21) is one of the hydrocoptic marzlevanes from the turbo encabulator. It would make a great centerpiece for my flown hardware display. :)
-
You might be able to crown 1 water landing champion if we get video! ;)
-
So obviously no grand prize winner, but this just gives a reason to play again whenever the next FH is ready to fly. If by some chance SpaceX releases imagery that can confirm where in relation to the ASDS the booster hit, I'll be sending a set of rocket floaties to the corner picker which was closest, even though it did not survive impact, just because the whole launch was that amazing.

Someone with a Twitter account send Helo's post to Elon! I could win some rocket floaties! :D

So who won? There was a brief video by spacex that shows the landing attempt.

Nobody won because the center core completely missed the barge.
Any debris that scattered across the deck does not count.

Yes noone won the primary award, but the water landig bonus was to be determined after video evidence was available which corner it hit closest.

Here is the relevant quote from the rules (emphasis mine)...
if you pick a water square, and it winds up floating in one piece you will receive a pair of rocket floaties for your efforts!
Definitely didn’t stay in one piece, so no winner.

Heliodriver, et al.......
Given the extreme and unique nature of the FH Arabsat 6A center core landing location, are we up for a new Landing BINGO for this launch?
