Or, maybe, ex-oil drilling platforms deep at sea.

#6 From comments at Nasaspaceflight dot com:
-
How sure are we that this actually has been said by Elon? How credible is the source?
Sorry if this already has been established. If so feel free to remove this post.
The marksman comment in the thread came from a known SpaceX employee.
Also, there's photos of the shredded remains of the mock-up out there.
Where could one find these photos? Or is it L2?

L2 McGregor, one of my favorite sections of all time, with other rigging and testing found in the panoramic super hi res photos. L2 link: https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=34957.940

Farewell, Mock Up and we thank you.
