A spectacular 2" hard enamel pin of the first successful landing of a Falcon 9 booster, B1019, on December 21st 2015. After successfully launching Orbcomm OG2-2, the second stage separated to continue on into orbit and B1019 performed a boost back burn to return to the landing zone at Kennedy Space Center. It successfully performed its landing burn, deploying its legs and touched down, lighting up the darkness as it did. The rocket industry has since been turned on its head since this historic landing! The booster now stands proudly on display outside of the SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorn, CA at the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Jack Northrop Avenue.
The stunning Flacon has Landed pin watching over the return of B1058.1, the booster that launched the first American Astronauts on a commercial launch vehicle in history! So many historical items in this photo ... absolutely breathtaking! Photo taken by the very talented John Pisani ... check out his other photos!
