YES if the Falcon 9 first-stage booster B1082 touches down on Landing Zone 4 and is reported recovered there following the Transporter-18 launch from SLC‑4E (Vandenberg) on October 1, 2026. Otherwise NO. • A touchdown on a droneship or any off-pad impact, crash, or explosion does not count. • Source: SpaceX or U.S. Space Force range announcements, or multiple independent mainstream reports.

Given how consistent SpaceX has been with their landings, I would say the Falcon 9 B1082 will land successfully on LZ-4 and be recovered. It’s well within their capabilities now.
