Isn't that Elsbeth III moored outboard of the GO twins in Jim's post #751?
Dumb question ya'llCan someone say just how far the tugs are stationed away from the drone ship during a landing attempt?Many thanks in advance. - Jeff
Dumb question ya'll
From the CRS-8 update thread; Quote from: Johnnyhinbos on 04/29/2016 10:03 pmWow - SpaceX just tweeted a 360 degree video of the stage landing on OCISLY. You have to view it on YouTube, but if viewed with smartphone you can move your phone around to adjust viewing angle...

Thanks for the explanation of how the 3D view works. I watched the video from a desktop yesterday and was puzzled by the 3D description.

The answer is: a few miles. Someone here is bound to have an exact number of miles for you.
