Ступень возвратится на космодром.

Может боятся, что баржу в море застигнет приближающийся ураган ?

Если есть возможность вернуться на сушу, то лучше вернуться на сушу, мне думается. Независимо от урагана. Баржу гонять тогда не нужно, ступень сама обратно прилетит.

На Космодроме на удивление ясное небо, учитывая, что в какой-то тысяче километров бушует гигантский ураган.
