Pauline Acaline got some nice telephotos of JRTI and Mr. Steven coming into the port of Los Angeles after retrieving the latest Falcon 9 Block 5 and half of the fairing. It’s amazing how clean those rockets are coming back with the new design.

What’s interesting is the support mechanics for Block 5 on the ASDS look different. Looks like they are using jacks now directly at the support points of the legs, four of them. And they are welded to the deck via angle iron to prevent slippage at sea while the legs are no longer “shoed”. I suspect this speeds unloading.
Falcon 9 is a damned good looking bit of hardware. And big kudos to Pauline for snagging such excellent photos.
