One of these farings is not like the others

Yeah, the Lunar Gateway module requires the extended fairing. A few others likely will as well, though this has yet to be confirmed.

Hopefully they can recover the center core during the Griffin launch. It would be great to finally bring one home.

They landed one once, didn't they? But it fell off the droneship on the way home? Was that Arabsat or STP-2?

I also have this memory

Yep, it was ArabSat 6A. First commercial FH mission and second ever FH launch.

While the center core successfully landed on the droneship, it tipped over in rough seas before it could be properly secured.
