So far, from what I gather from NSF/reddit...the "pilots" will meet the ASDS at 22:00 EDT and will probably be in port a few hours later...will keep checking...presently waiting for departure of a Norwegian freighter at 21:00 EDT.

:(   The "pilot" keeps calling ASDS a "rocket barge"......well, he'll soon catch on to the lingo....:D

^ I was under the assumption that the other 2 stages just had a "bath", no paint....I really like the "battle scar look"...:D

^   speculation is of certain areas with an ablative paint as well as lower panels with ablative peel-on material.  They will still be testing for high heat mitigation for as long as they launch, and will get more knowledgeable with time.
