All seems nominal! They maybe lost the center core.
The double RTLS landing was unbelievable!

I was close to tears. That was.... amazing. I had my fingers crossed (both sets) the whole time. On the secondary feed let was cool to see Gwynne Shotwell jump up and cheer, and then hug people around her. What an accomplishment, even if we possibly/probably lost the center core.
On the hosted webcast, they showed the tracking of all the elements, with two parabolas falling back to the ocean... fairing halves? The label was obscured behind the label for the center core.

Unbelievable! So fortunate to have been able to witness that.

I did as well, some crying between launch and maxQ, foot stomping and hollering when the side boosters seperated and landed side by side. Best Fing launch ever.
