SpaceX Booster B1051.4 returned after its 4th flight to space this morning to Port Canaveral on droneship OCISLY. It gets dirtier each time it returns, but it just proves that these rockets can stand the wear & tear of multiple flights. #SpaceX #NASA #Space #SpaceXFleet

The #Falcon9  arrived back to Port Canaveral early this morning after a successful #Starlink mission. It's still awesome to watch a rocket launch, land on a droneship then see it come back to prepare for another launch! #SpaceX #SpaceXFleet

The Falcon 9 booster that conducted the launch of SpaceX's seventh Starlink launch was returned to Florida atop the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You on Sunday.

I thought I would stop by on my way to work and check on B1051.4 They are just now putting the cap on to move the booster to the stand. It is a windy day so their window to move it may be limited. #SpaceXFleet #Starlink

B1051.4's cap is on and I think two of the lines are attached to legs.  #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX @SpaceXFleet

They appear to be having some trouble with the last leg, they put it all the way down and have now brought it back up to about were it was before.  #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX @SpaceXFleet

Finally

What a Starlink reentry looks like up close: Starlink 1353 (failed 2 months after launch) reentering over an astronomical observation camera that was looking at Orion's nebula. The disintegrating satellite passed just in front of it, allowing for a good look at its trace:
