In an unexpected turn of events, Teslarati photographer Pauline Acalin came across a remarkable scene in Port of Los Angeles – four flight-proven Falcon 9 fairing halves temporarily stored on a plot of land soon to become SpaceX’s dedicated BFR factory.While it’s difficult to guess exactly which fairing half is which, it appears that the halves from PAZ, Iridium-5, and Iridium-6 are present and accounted for.
Holy moly, 4 fairing halves spied in Port L.A!Teslarati article- https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-bfr-factory-four-falcon-9-fairing-halves-spied/

I hope the fairings dont catch any of that infectious rust and decomposition of the buildings.

Just like the buildings.If they are scrapped, why keep them in the first place?

Hanging onto things is cheap and easy if you have available space. Just ask any farmer.
So what’s the next step after they successfully capture one?How do they extend the process to getting them both?Program one to loiter around going in circles more while they catch the first, then very rapidly lower it to the deck and shove it forward while the ship is repositioning to catch the second one? That would look pretty dramatic.
