SpaceX’s Jessica Jensen explains why the SpX-19 launch will perform a drone ship landing vs. returning to the Cape: need extra performance from 1st stage because 2nd stage will do a “thermal demonstration” in orbit after deployment with a six-hour coast.

Hello! I'm u/Gavalar_, I'm the guy who stalks the SpaceX boats on Twitter and, I guess, Reddit too!About The RecoveryCRS-19 was originally planned as an RTLS to LZ-1. SpaceX decided to shift the landing to the Of Course I Still Love You droneship (~345km downrange) because Stage 2 is to perform a thermal demonstration for 6 hours which requires extra performance from stage 1 - via a longer burn time. SpaceX has deployed OCISLY, GO Quest and Hawk to carry out the recovery operation.
