Was cool seeing the parts in that one video. They looked really clean and totally new.

I think the landing legs and interstage were the only parts that were 100% replaced.

thats pretty good, the turn around from the last launch was also really fast.

Waiting for the other pad to be finished. Can't make the modifications to support Heavy with a launch every few weeks I guess.

Incredibly proud of the SpaceX team for achieving this milestone in space! Next goal is reflight within 24 hours.
