Well, if one was to recover TWO fairings, both being some 46’ in length, one would perhaps want “bunk bed” them for transport home...

With any luck we'll see more shots soon as they complete building it.
OCISLY on Sunday 11/13/2017. Looks like SpaceX has not immediate use for it.

is it just me, or are there some sort of racks sitting in the roomba garage?
While I was taking the picture above, three different cars of people pulled into the parking lot and took cell phone pictures.That still indicates celebrity status to me, even if it is only rocket geek celebrity.All three were sets of young folks. Warms my heart

Warms my heartI wonder if Fishlips has seen any appreciable increase in business since SpaceX has started using that berth?

I think you're thinking of the 35000 s.f. of land and 77000 s.f. of water that are being added to SpaceX's permit near berths 51 and 52. In any case, we will see later this month what happens to the B1036 booster with the Iridium NEXT-4 flight.QuoteBackqround: On January 7,2016, the Board approved RP 15-19 to SpaceX for the useof 35,000 s.f. of land and 77,000 s.f. of water at Berths 51 and 52 along Miner Street inSan Pedro. RP 15-19 allowed for: berthing rights for the Marmac landing barge andauxiliary vessels; construction of landside improvements including the installation ofrocket support pedestals on a concrete pad; and installation of temporary perimeterfencing, an office trailer, a guard shack and portable restrooms. SpaceX's premises areutilized to berth vessels that recover expended rockets and capsules from over 100miles offshore and return the respective equipment for land based transportation tovarious locations.ln response to the Board's concern regarding insurance limits and coverage under selfinsurance,the First Amendment to RP 15-19 increased insurance requirements toprovide superior insurance coverage, thereby reducing the Harbor Department'sfinancial risk exposure arising from SpaceX's operations.The Second Amendment to RP 15-19 increased permit premises primarily at Berth 53and adjusted compensation correspondingly. The additional areas provided SpaceXwith access to a wider area such that it can conduct its operations more safely andefficiently, and also reduce the length of time that Miner Street is shut down, therebylessening the impact of SpaceX operations on neighboring tenants. A provision wasalso added to allow the Harbor Department to be reimbursed for expenses incurred as aresult of the Tenant's operations such as Port Police fees (escort, street closures, etc.);Construction & Maintenance costs (placement of k-rails, plumbing and electricalservices, etc.); Engineering fees (inspection fees, etc.); rental fees for use of additionalareas (staging for media, parking, etc.); and other related. costs.SpaceX has conducted five rocket and capsule recoveries since 2016. On November15, 2017, SpaceX submitted an application for additional premises in order toaccommodate the MA/ Mr. Steven, a 205-foot long vessel dedicated to recovering thefairing portion of rockets which protect the spacecraft and reduce drag during flight.No additional hazardous materials will be brought to the Port. The extended area willallow a better layout for its operations and allow SpaceX to remove equipment on top oftheir sea vans as much as possible, and better contain their equipment behind theperimeter fencing, away from public view.The proposed Third Amendment (Transmittal 1) to RP 15-19 modifies the permitpremises by adding a9,143 s.f. land parcel and a 25,500 s.f. submerged land parcel onthe south side of its current premises (Transmittal2), and modifying the compensationaccordingly, from $24,328.73 to $28,095.82 a month. ln anticipation of the vessel'sarrival in mid to late December 2018, SpaceX would like to take possession of theadditional premises by December 15, 2017.Source: https://www.portoflosangeles.org/Board/2017/December%202017/121417_Regular_Agenda_Item_8.pdf
