florida eagle Posted January 21, 2021 #26 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The two small ships you saw several months ago on this cruise with nets were from Space X. They are used to attempt to collect the fairings that surround the satellites they launch to be reused. The fairings are made of a rare metal and are several million dollars. How they transport the first stage rocket that lands at a sea barge back to the Cape I do not know. Maybe they turn the stage on its side on one of the ships. The fairings though do not survive a landing in the sea to well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneparmesan Posted January 21, 2021 #27 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It's nice seeing these pictures... My wife and I took our first cruise together on the Liberty back in 2011. The ship still looks amazing a decade later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
