why don't recover the 1st stage?
-
-
-
to reach the geostationary transfer orbit (read: really high) they need every last drop of fuel from the first stage.
-
the company who bought the rocket for this must have a lot of money for them to lose first stage

does the main engine just float away?
-
this time, yes. They wouldn't have enough fuel this time to recover the first stage.
-
thx, knew they didnt have enough fuel for landing. so it goes into stationary orbit? or does it crash into the ocean
-
It crashes into the ocean

Still would have been awesome to see what happens to the first stage on its way down.

However, three was enough fuel to do a short re-entry burn from a high speed. Info learned will help recovery of falcon heavy booster later.

As previously mentioned the first stage booster was never intended to land. It didn't even have legs installed.
