That is the barge the first stage rocket booster lands on at sea and is then hauled back to land to be checked over, refurbished, and put back into service. Since the one that launched the Crew Dragon Demo mission to the space station was seen coming in a couple of days back I suspect that is the one from the Starlink Satellite launch. h2odivers...Ray 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 We watched the Space X launch and even just seeing the booster land softly back on the drone barge smack dab on the X was impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Got a close up & the barge isn't that big. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
