B1058 was the only booster with NASA's logos because of its maiden launch, Demo-2 (the first crewed orbital spaceflight launched from the U.S. since the Shuttle program), and it lead the fleet with the most amount of re-flights.

B1058 launched 2 astronauts, 860+ satellites and 260 tons of payload to orbit over 3.5 years.

SpaceX will recover its Merlin engines for other missions.
