Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 06-03-2015 02:45 PM SpaceX has agreed to retrieve the Falcon 9 fairing that washed up on the tiny Bahamian island of Elbow Cay in late May, SpaceNews [URL=http://spacenews.com/spacex-to-retrieve-fairing-that-washed-up-in-bahamas/]reports[/URL]. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]"We are on a small island and there is no dump here," said Sherri Waddell, a part time resident who lives in the U.S. but owns a house on Elbow Cay with her husband. "Removing this trash will not be easy or cheap." As it turns out, it will be both of those things, at least from the perspective of Elbow Island dwellers. "A local man on the Elbow Cay saw this debris a couple of days ago and started making phone calls immediately," Waddell told SpaceNews June 2 via email. "He got a call back from SpaceX this afternoon, and they are sending someone to get it tomorrow or the next day. In the meantime, a group of local men moved it further up on the beach to keep it from going back out at high tide."[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>
