Notice it says constructed One would think activity would have to start now to meet an optimistic 4th quartercompletion.
I think this puts to rest the idea that they have decided not to build a F9/FH launch site.
Just to make it clear, this comes from this reddit post and, from reading the comments there, is one reader's attempt to describe the coming year.
For what it's worth, the people building the crane warehouse say the plan is to tear it down in two years.
Seriously. It's taken a surprising amount of posts to this effect from multiple people. Although this exercise does now mean that the devil in me is thinking about making a powerpoint slide with the SpaceX logo slapped on it a few times that says "Actually, lets make flying cities on Venus instead."
I've been playing with a cheap, Chinese ptz webcam and a telescopic Channel Master 41" pole. The pole is only about 16 feet up at the moment because I'm still working on guys. The camera seems to be surprising solid for a no name, low cost knockoff but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't last long. I mainly want to see if 40 feet will clear the large tree between me and the control center. When they start getting serious out here, I'll probably think of getting a 50 foot Rohn 25.

So both are facing the control center/ tracking dishes and launch site? Or just one? Can see your ready to record progress with the NomaddCam.

My internet is a smartphone in the kitchen window. It's just a Cat5 to my laptop now. It was easier once I figured out they had the wrong IP on the label. PTZ means pan/tilt/zoom. If we ever get real internet out here, I'll figure everything out. The cam has a built in web page, so it's pretty simple. Kinda glitchy using a browser, but DaveG seems to know his way around a packet so I figure he'd be a good source of advice if it ever goes online.
Of all the names for a remote camera, "Infrared Cloud Billiards Machine" isn't one I would have guessed.
