January 19, 2020, fourth and last launch for the first stage #46 which will be voluntarily destroyed during the test "Crew Dragon in flight abort" which must prove the survivability of the Dragon capsule and its astronauts in the event of a major accident during the ascending phase of the flight. Successful test that will allow a manned launch.
Note the dismantled folding feet.
