Since they can't transport it with the second stage attached, I don't see why they'd have to ship it back to Hawthorne to do the integration. Also, what makes you think it came in from Florida? Maybe it's a brand new one just waiting for the right time to head east. They might have needed the space in the factory, since it only has room for three boosters at a time.

It looks like SES-10 is the winner for reusing the first booster. SpaceX is not taking the easy road and going with an easy launch with an easy recovery. SES-10 is a big heavy GTO launch. This will occur sometime in October according to the current listing for its launch
So this booster seems to be on a secret mission and it is not at Hawthorne for reuse. Well boo.
Thaicom was the leaning tower of boosters with the crushed landing leg core. It also had a hot landing and was beat up like F9-024 JCSAT 14. This is F9-025.

How do you know it's not going to be reused? There may yet be a mission for this booster... just not as a Falcon 9.
That is great news! I suggest you start a new thread for that launch. Pretty exciting development!

<Snip> The launch will take place in Florida at SLC-40 or as a very outside possibility of LC39A.
They (currently) only re-use the first stage. Whatever the problem was, it was associated with the second stage. So no problem.Can they practically fix the used cores with solutions to the problems they had in Thursday's anomaly? (September 1, 2016 early morning)
This question is open as long as it takes to answer. I'm perfectly aware that this will take time to answer.

So I guess Bill Nye (the science guy) already spilled the beans. These cores are being re-worked as Falcon Heavy boosters.
Interesting! I wonder how Nye found that out?So I guess Bill Nye (the science guy) already spilled the beans. These cores are being re-worked as Falcon Heavy boosters.
He's part of The Planetary Society, which is developing LightSail 2, one of the first Falcon Heavy payloads. In that video he was explicit that he's not an official SpaceX spokesperson, so it's technically hearsay, but they had recently heard from SpaceX on the FH launch schedule (first flight still planned for November), and the reused boosters.Interesting! I wonder how Nye found that out?
Good to hear that the FH is progressing.
Oh look, it's a DIY Falcon Heavy kit!
