DocM Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 We haven't seen that core and no one's talking, yet. We're still waiting for confirmation that the barge is finished, but they're pushing it really hard. FAA docs posted on NSF about the barge radio beacons show if it is used the landing will be offshore of Jacksonville, North 30 49 54, West 78 6 29. https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=current&application_seq=62792 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Posted to NSF, Google just updated their satellite images. This one is the SpaceX facility at SpacePort America. Looks like tanks being stored on what looks like the landing pad. Maybe the diagonal bit left is for the hangar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
