So . . . if they're planning to pick this thing up in the Pacific Ocean, why were they practicing picking it up off the coast of Italy? Or were they just looking for an excuse to soak up some of that Mediterranean sun?
:-)
Revrunner - All the interested parts are European and the simulation was only a simple way to see if everything could go smoothly in picking up the thing from some salty water.
Most interesting ship working in the high tech world of space travel and recovery. Wow. How up to date is that!
It does look like a vessel that means business.
When the picture came up, my first thought was how clever you are - always are - with the composition. But the text reveals so much one could never even guess at from the sight of an apparently old boat and a launch. Leads us into exciting realms!
Like the little boat on the first pic, what a contrast!
I wish them well, they have quite a mission!
Thank you VP. Great pictures! Good thing you were there.
Hey!
Good thing tires on cars and trucks go bad.
Recycle!
hahahahahaha
A quality photo and nice reporting.
How exciting!
Did you read about this and go looking for it? It would have been incredible good luck just to BE there at the right moment.
What a big journey and mission this ship has ahead of it.
I would gladly go on that journey.
