Falcon 9 booster B1029

 * ... that Falcon 9 booster B1029 (pictured) is the only reusable rocket that was launched from both coasts of the United States? Source: SpaceX Falcon 9 success with second flight involving BulgariaSat-1 mission
 * ALT1:... that the second reused orbital rocket in history, Falcon 9 booster B1029 (pictured), was "extra toasty" upon coming back from the edge of space on June 23, 2017 to land on a drone ship? Source: "Rocket is extra toasty and hit the deck hard (used almost all of the emergency crush core), but otherwise good" – Elon Musk on Twitter
 * ALT2:... that Falcon 9 booster B1029 (pictured) was the second orbital-class rocket in history to be flown again after landing vertically on a drone ship, only 12 weeks after her sister B1021 was the first? Source: SpaceX Falcon 9 success with second flight involving BulgariaSat-1 mission

 * Comment: I much prefer the "extra toasty" ALT1 hook, personally, but I wanted to give reviewers a more serious version for consideration as well.

 * I have replaced the dead link at NZ Herald with the original AP writeup. Thanks for the glowing review! — JFG talk 04:40, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * In addition to being extra toasty, ALT1 features an educational link about the Kármán line defining the boundary to outer space; thus readers can learn much more than the exploits of this individual rocket. — JFG talk 13:40, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks, JFG! Everything looks good to go to me. I'm fine with ALT1 so long as "extra toasty" is in quotation marks, as it is now. Thanks again for your hard work on this article! Michael Barera (talk) 01:52, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
