Why is this needed?
Confirmed. It was destroyed. There was no safe way to tow it back without risk to land, sea, and people.
If the stage were worth recovering, they'd have sent an ASDS and landed on that.
SX need another ASDS at Florida if they plan on recovering cores at sea at less than 10 days interval IMO.
Except they are making third one right now...
