Is this definitely the next SpaceX flight, i.e. no flights in November?
I guess we can assume legs on this one, then...
Do we have any confirmation that this is going down on a barge? It's going to be absolutely surreal.

It's going to be absolutely surreal.Elon said something relevant to this at the MIT Aeroastro symposium:"for the upcoming launch I think we've got a chance of landing on a floating platform" ... "being constructed at a shipyard in Louisiana right now" ... "we're going to try to land on that on the next flight"This seems to me like he must mean SPX-5, given the history of reusability testing following stage separation on SPX missions.http://webcast.amps.ms.mit.edu/fall2014/AeroAstro/index-Fri-PM.html9:30 (watch the first 10 minutes, or seek to just a short way in)This was already picked up by at least one web article I read today.
