The Wikipedia article says SpaceX has successfully retrieved a fairing, with the source being a vague post on The Verge which actually says: "That doesn’t mean that SpaceX has necessarily recovered the fairing pieces, though. They must have landed in the ocean". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.239.222.161 (talk) 15:07, 22 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
