There's something you don't see every day! And people say Musk is a con man, LOL.

Indeed! I was watching big screen in a room full of nerds cheering from max-Q on.Wow! Perfect mission in every aspect. Wish we had live video of the center core landing, but I was very happy to see it vertical on OCISLY! It was super cool to see live video from all three boosters as they descended.
Welp, SpaceX has proven they can land 1, 2, and 3 boosters from a launch. Since 4 would be silly, it's time to switch back to one, but make it really really big...

I thought the same thing.Is it the camera angle, or did it look like one of the boosters came down a little hard? Looked to be a little off axis on its landing. The one in the background of this screen grab.

Any news on the fairings ?
He followed up in another tweet that they were recovered from the sea (no net) but were undamaged.Happy to see the fairing halves were recovered, but unclear if they got wet or not. I suspect they did. Interesting to see Elon saying they will be reused.

If SpaceX is going to reuse them for cheap starlink launches they might have lower quality standards then some outside client who has a gazillion dollar satellite on the line.
Elon Musk on TwitterMr Steven has been armless for a few weeks now, and didn't participate in today's recovery. GO Navigator and GO Searcher both grabbed a half I believe.
I think I remember Elon saying something a couple months ago about possibly being able to use ones that soft landed in the water instead of trying to catch them.
