Welcome home, #Falcon9 booster B1058!
The #SpaceX first stage rolled into port Tuesday morning (January 26) shortly before noon.

Amazing.
SpaceX Falcon9 booster B1051-9 returns, while booster B1058-6 watches from shore.
We're going to need a bigger port.
Also, 9+6=15. 15 flights to space and back for these 2 boosters. I hope they're getting frequent flier miles.
This was the scene this (Thurs) morning as the #SpaceX recovery team was removing the legs from the #ArabSat6a #FalconHeavy center core. The #SpaceXFleet returned to @portcanaveral at 2am, carrying the successfully landed first stage. It’s on its side (and the top is missing) after high seas caused the rocket to tip over.

about the B1060.5 landing, but the #Falcon9 1st stage is looking good here as it returns to port early Sunday morning.
This is just before an active thunderstorm rolled in. (Kudus to the #SpaceXFleet crew, working through the weather.)

Just another day on the Space Coast: In honor of the arrival of "Mr Steven," the fairing-catching addition to the SpaceX fleet, I made a quick visit to the Port. This is a quick panorama taken from the Observation Deck at the Exploration Tower at Port Canaveral, looking out over Port Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
There is a ton of coolness in this photo; Facebook won't handle it in full-resolution (23283 x 5560), but for those inclined to explore, you can view it here in full HD:

And, if you want to play scavenger hunt, you can find the following landmarks, listed in no particular order:
1. A Disney Cruise ship (for scale)
2. Mr Steven
3. At least one of the arms to Mr Stevens' fairing-catching net
4. The Blue Origin factory
5. The Space X "Octograbber"
6. The largest mobile harbor crane in the United States
7. The Vehicle Assembly Building
8. The SMAB
9. Launch Complex 39A
10. The GO Searcher
11. The GO Quest
12. The GO Navigator
13. A Dragon test module of sorts
14. The VIB at Launch Complex 41
15. The ASDS "Of Course I Still Love You"
16. The Atlantis fuel tank and SRB stack at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
17. Four (or more) porta-potties
Enjoy!
Welcome home: The #SpaceX #CRS16 #Falcon9 1st stage rocket returned to Port Canaveral today after taking an unplanned dip in the Atlantic; the top of the stage took some damage on impact.
For this mission, reusability = uncertain, but recovery = affirmative. Well done, Elon & team!

Just another day for @PortCanaveral and the Space Coast of Florida, as the #SpaceX drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" returns to port carrying the 1st stage of the #telstar18v #Falcon9 rocket, launched early Monday morning.
Welcome home, #SpaceXFleet!
Another view of the #SpaceXFleet and the #SpaceX #Falcon9 booster B1051 gliding into port this morning.
(Rocket chasers for scale, frame left, near the front on the "Of Course I Still Love You".)
Friday afternoon views of Port Canaveral as the #SpaceX net-wielding vessels Ms. Tree & Ms. Chief were readied for departure.
By early evening, they had left port to be in position Monday morning to catch (the already previously flown) fairings from the #Starlink launch.
