You're being downvoted because it's a stupid assertion and it's "technically" not even the same craft at that point.

The title presented it as if it were a single craft at all times. Of course "delivering 2nd stage to space" would sound silly, but I'm sure the title could be worded factually correct and still be simple and informative (as titles should be).
