After SpaceX's perfect landing on the droneship Sunday morning, it rolls back into Port Canaveral. The first stage landed upright on Of Course I Still Love You after launching JCSAT-16 into it's Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). People watched as the 14-story tall rocket came over the horizon toward shore after a 3-day journey. Falcon 9 first stage arrived into Port Canaveral, Florida Wednesday around Noon. The droneship docked at Port Canaveral and a crane attached to the booster and lifted it off onto shore on a stand. Recovery teams will then begin work on removing the legs and positioning the booster horizontal onto a trailer to ship off to the hanger in KSC at Launch Complex 39A.
