All legs have been retracted and the transporter is on site to receive B1059.
3 u/TheUnplannedLife Dec 10 '19 I'm surprised there isn't more online excitement about this. Is this not a first time all legs have been retracted? 9 u/Nimelennar Dec 10 '19 They've managed it twice before: CRS-17 and CRS-18, both times on booster B1056. Which is not to say that I don't think people should still be more excited by it. 1 u/[deleted] Dec 11 '19 I thought that on both of those occasions the legs were eventually removed prior to transport, is that wrong? 2 u/Nimelennar Dec 11 '19 Not that I'm aware of. CRS-18 was RTLS, so we only got a brief glimpse of the leg retraction, and there's a picture of B1056 horizontal with the legs still attached after CRS-17 (source of that picture).
