"SpaceX booster 1049, designated as B1049-7 to denote having flown seven
times,returned to Port Canaveral today to come ashore for its journey to
the booster refurbishment facility and then back to another flight. NASA Spaceflight has a camera set up at the port now to catch the return of all boosters and fairings that come back.
They're calling it SpaceX's sootiest booster yet, and that's the name I
propose changing... The straight lines are cleaned areas to allow inspection of weld lines -
part of the inspection between flights. It's just a used spaceship.
Since it's not really soot, I think I'd call it the Millennium
Falcon, probably the best-known used spaceship. A nation of Star Wars
freaks would be in awe."
Fours years back America hadn't launched anything in almost a decade.
