PORT CANAVERAL, FL – After successfully retracting all four landing legs flush against the Falcon 9 booster core yesterday, Wednesday, June 3, while standing upright atop the OCISLY droneship upon which it landed after the historic achievement of launching the first humans to space ever on a commercial SpaceX rocket and the first Americans from US soil in 9 years, SpaceX technicians completed their tasks by craning it off and lowering the 1st stage horizontally onto a wheeled transporter.
