::Yes, in the main. I just added some prose to the article based on a source I found. One detail relative to what you said: I also listened to a recording of the 15-20 minute phone call teleconference that the press had with Elon Musk after the flight, and I don't believe anything was said about "dismantling" the F9 Flight 20 vehicle. I suspect what is more likely is that, after evaluating the overall structure in fine detail, some pieces from key areas of stress may be cut out or otherwise removed for [[destructive testing]]. I don't think that will happen to such an extent that the vehicle is hugely disfigured; Musk seems to want the rocket to stand as a memorial or museum piece, since he thinks they will have quite a few stages to refly in the near future (not all future flights, but thinks likely to have stages back from most of them).

== 22 December 2015 post-landing news conference with Elon Musk ==

Here is a recording (link [http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=38148.msg1463773#msg1463773 here]) of the post-launch and post-landing teleconference with the press that Elon Musk gave, only an hour or two after the landing. The audio has quite a bit of wind noise on the microphone; but you can hear everything the reporters heard. That YouTube audio was posted yesterday, 23 Dec 2015.

Today, someone has helpfully posted a full transcript of the recording. (link [http://shitelonsays.com/transcript/postlanding-teleconference-with-elon-musk-2015-12-22 here]). If you use any of this as a primary source to details about the launch, flight, landing, future plans, etc., you should recognize this is a [[WP:PRIMARYSOURCE|primary source]], and while okay to use for [[WP:V|verifiability]] purposes in some cases, is not considered as good a source for Wikipedia as a secondary source, something written on by a reliable source (like a newspaper, or one of the space media journalists).
