With their planned "helicopter like inaccuracy", could they just land it on a barge out in the middle of the Atlantic instead?

Jeff Bezos has actually tried to patent the barge landing. Go figure. http://ipinspace.com/2012/02/13/repeat-after-me-patent-appli...

Bezos, or his handlers anyway, can be pretty outrageous with this kind of stuff. Water landings of VTVL's have been talked about since the 1960's by various people. It would be pretty ridiculous if he was granted the patent for it.
