Space X droneship with charred and mangled Falcon 9 booster debris returns to port

Remains of SpaceX Falcon 9 booster return to Port Canaveral charred and mangled. The charred remains of the booster from Wednesday mornings SpaceX Starlink 86 launch came into Port Canaveral Friday around noon, the booster was partially covered with a tarp with a scorched leg protruding from the tarp. The wellflown SpaceX Falcon 9 booster met its end Wednesday morning. Following what appeared to be a routine night Starlink launch, the booster burst into flames upon landing on A Shortfall of Gravitas in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. This marks the first time in over three years that a first stage was lost in a landing incident after launching from Florida. The last comparable incident occurred in February 2021, when a booster returning from a Starlink launch failed to land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship. That ship has since been relocated to the California coast. ,spacex , falcon9, starlink
