Apologies if this has been brought up already, Surely parking a rocket next to a cruise ship would require zoning? I have been trying to find something/anything on possible legislature or zoning laws so we can better get an idea of the scope. Can anyone use their googlefu to find something? My googlefu is not working today, best I found was http://www.spaceflorida.gov/docs/spaceport-ops/florida-spaceport-systems-plan-2013_final.pdf?sfvrsn=2 but does not mention Jacksonville in regards to SpaceX.I found this also - http://www.jacksonvilleor.us/CityDocs/Planning/20+-+Title+17+Zoning.pdfAlso this..http://jacksonville.com/news/georgia/2014-11-13/story/barge-port-planned-former-paper-mill-site-st-marysThis last one has me wondering though..John C
Strange. Appears the Carnaval Fascination web cams are no longer available on line.

And not just the front one, but neither are available, now. Shame.Both tugs still in Jacksonville port, and Fascination now heading for the mouth of the river for docking this morning.

Quote from: PhilW on 01/03/2015 01:45 amBecause SpX engineers know about the Inversion issue, their grid fin flight control software should be able to compensate for it and still maintain the desired F9 attitude control capability. Huh? I thought that there was no control inversion issue with grid fins (non-linear behavior yes, but still “forward”) unless there was a secondary reason, such as when the wake of the grid fins acts on another surface of the vehicle.?. I’m definitely not authoritative enough to say that for fact but I want to swing that out there as bait to see if we can get someone with a solid background to put this to bed (or not).

I was all set recording the feed wake to find its gone THANKS for new link PhilW. And I think we need 'Name the Barge thread" EDIT: Updating every minute. If you open image in separate tab and 'refresh' it updates every refresh. So this way is faster than previous 30sec or 1 min refresh rate
It's there!!! webcam updates every ~7 sec

Here is a video from the arrival of Carnival Fascination
Quote from: cartman on 01/03/2015 11:11 amHere is a video from the arrival of Carnival FascinationThanks, cartman.Does anyone have the programs and ability to keep a screen capture program running to capture every frame (whether 30 s or 7s) so that we might later be able to see and analyze a departure video for ASDS, GoQuest and Elsbeth III? Watching the prep, no. of people visible on board, etc.
