Welcome from Cocoa Beach FL --
SpaceX Falcon 9 booster returning to Port Canaveral from the Transporter 4 "ride share" mission. It launched to a sun-synchronous orbit, so the recovery barge was probably quite far away from launch. That's one FILTHY booster -- it would take a ton of baby-wipes to clean that re-load, if that actually did that. Seemed a bit incongruous seeing the Falcon 9 booster arrive amidst all the cruise ships. Would have been interesting to see it unloaded for ground transport, but that was not happening yet.
