Wow, look at all of those white score marks in the paint!Edited to try to add the link, it's definitely NSF's SEO thingy messing it up, not your system CJ.
By "SEO Thingy" I mean that it likely tries to hit the page and get it's title or somesuch, and it came up with that instead. NOT working as intended whether it's that or some other parsing type of weirdness.
I really thought they were going to put it where I had posted its "proper" position to be. Makes a lot of sense (to me) that it be where I've got it and not where they've got it. Did they not read my post? Do they not have NSF access while out to sea? But in one of the images you can see two welders in the foreground (on shore) which leads to the conclusion that either this is the spot or this is the spot where the work will be done. Strange, such a thin strip of land to work in, put a crane in, possibly build a mount for standing the stages. Also in one of those pictures you can see the large building in the background (AltaSea's building?) that says "Warehouse no. 1", which I had thought was called "War House", from its navy origins. Coulda sworn I read a Wikipedia article of that name and had other sources. Hmmm.
Asking for a clarification, Mark. Are you saying you think that the ASDS is currently parked where your green X is located? Because, if so, you're right, that doesn't seem like an appropriate location for the kind of work that will likely need to be done on the barge to get it ready for its mission.
Hey, OCISLY is on live cruisecam right now, and nobody even mentioned it? http://www.cruisin.me/cruise-ship-webcams/carnival-cruise-lines/carnival-fascination.phpGo Quest is there too. I'll attach a screencap.

Are you saying you think that the ASDS is currently parked where your green X is located? Because, if so, you're right, that doesn't seem like an appropriate location for the kind of work that will likely need to be done on the barge to get it ready for its mission.Perhaps this is a temporary parking spot? Maybe SpaceX decided to postpone the modification work for a while during the current accident investigation? It could make sense to wait and not spend the money now to complete and kit out the ASDS when it may not be used for four to six months later than originally planned.One of the ways in which SpaceX seems to be pursuing cost effectiveness is using JIT processing flow logic (applying the term casually, not strictly), in which things are done/fabricated/delivered/prepared Just In Time. This is a somewhat different paradigm from the military aerospace process that the industry has tended to follow, where you get everything ready as soon as you can (at least not worrying so much about when it will then be needed in the processing cycle), and then leave it sit in storage until it's needed. So, if it saves a few thousand dollars to wait and only start paying rent on the dock facilities closer to the time you'll need to start using that space, maybe SpaceX is saying "Why not save those few thousand dollars?"
I think your idea about the JIT processing has legs.
