And this particular Falcon 9 has a little bit of added historic appeal beyond Saturday's exploits: Emblazoned across its body is NASA's retro "worm" logo, which was brought out of retirement for Demo-2.
Personally, I don't consider the NASA 'worm' logo retro - I simply consider it ugly. And it's not exactly retro, given the current logo is also the original NASA logo. The worm was someone's idea of an updated 'modern' logo for NASA, which thankfully didn't last long (sort of like the short lived Pratt and Whitney "Pigs in Space" logo.
I have a few flying (or at least flyable) Space Shuttle model rockets. They came with the 'worm' logo decals - I didn't use them - I paid to get decals of the original/current logo.
