First reflight and successful second recovery of a Block 5 first stage.
Been offline due to accident. How long between the first flight/landing
and second flight?
Google is your firned ;-)
This was B1046.
This booster first flew on May 11 of this year.
So 4 months turn around time.
Not bad.
Unless my coffee is weak this morning, I count 3 months between May and
August. But agreed, that's not bad, especially since they had to tear
this one down a bit to verify that they didn't have to tear it down.
:-)
Did the stage travel back to Califoria for tests/cleanup or remain in
Florida?
Based on:

It doesn't look like it went back to California. And there's not much reason
at this point.
Cool. That's the goal. Inspect at either Florida or California and
refly them for up to 10 times.
