We’re exited to see the Iridium 6 fairing cradled in Mr. Steven’s loving net! @IridiumBoss think this will be the one to come home?

Would love to see that. We're proud of ALL our firsts with SpaceX!
-
Going to stay active with the SpaceX community after Iridum's contract is complete?
-
I just ya'll will stay active with me!
-
That’s what we love about you. You’re very tuned in and available. It makes it very exciting to watch your company grow. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride!
-
Ok, NOW I'm blushing! Seriously, space is challenging, but fun. We shouldn't make what we do a secret!
-
We need Iridium NEXT NEXT to start launching so we can keep getting the great SpaceX updates from you
But in all seriousness, thanks for giving us all the great info, Mr. Desch!

Did you have to give her a deeper keel?

That's no question to ask about a lady.

All boats are female even if they're a Mr. It's a boat thing.

What do you bait the net with to lure the fairings? We hear they're very elusive prey. After you catch them, are they hard to clean? How do you cook them? We hear that fairings on the half shell is delicious, but sound a bit redundant.

-
They are best served raw

-
You animal! I won’t fall for one of your traps ever again! >;(

This half-a-prey is certainly sly and very resilient. It's the journey through the atmosphere that gives it that toasted flavor. Well worth the effort. The fairing snacks will sustain Mr. Steven as she matures into a full grown second stage catcher.
-
Egad!
@F9SecondStage It’s too late for me, run while you still can! -
We worry about the missing fairing halves. What if all the halves recovered are left-side halves? It will be worse than the Twix dilemma.
-
Yeah, I don’t care about that, you’ll never catch both of me! Muahahahaha.
