This washed ashore near Charleston. Any ideas? Looks decidedly spacey to me.  https://www.charlotteobserver....rticle219544575.html  | ||

It's a pool noodle. The foam on the Space Shuttle's ET was only 1 inch thick and was one type that was sprayed on. My serious guess is that it's a marine mooring buoy for ships. https://goo.gl/images/A5C2av | |||

I think maybe so. Did they ever have areas of blue color? See the stripes of some sort on the right? | |||

Doesn't look near large enough in diameter to be the Orbiter's LOX/hydrazine external tank - it's almost 28' in diameter !!This message has been edited. Last edited by: aileron, | |||

No way to tell how big it is. Looks to me like a lot of concrete around it, so how did it float? flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Looks like a large boat bumper/floatation device. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

It's likely a heat resistant "foam" material. | |||

Thought it would be Shuttle parts also. Then wondered why seaweed/barnacles/whatever wouldn't have fastened themselves to shuttle parts by now. Trapper189's idea seems more plausible. How much tidal shift would it take for this to be so far away from any water if it only 'floated' there? | |||
