PORT CANAVERAL/CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, FL – It was a evenly mixed bag of results for the SpaceX crane crews working on the landing legs of the 4 time recycled SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage booster from the Starlink 2 mission, as they were only able to successfully retract two while the other two were completely detached – perfect symmetry from opposite sides no less.
In other words the final outcome for the landing legs of the 156 foot tall 1st stage was perfectly balanced and evenly split at - 2 Up and 2 Off!
