Elon Musk @elonmuskAutonomous spaceport drone ship. Thrusters repurposed from deep sea oil rigs hold position within 3m even in a storm.Elon Musk @elonmuskBase is 300 ft by 100 ft, with wings that extend width to 170 ft. Will allow refuel & rocket flyback in future.
This means the barge is not a one-off test or demo, but part of long term strategy. I wonder where this leaves RTLS.
If the Booster it taking off from that barge then thats a lot more rocket exhaust the barge has to deal with. Probably not a plain steel deck then.
