    Looks like Quest was there for fairing recovery and just about to get back to port where we will have an idea of what happened to the fairings: https://twitter.com/spacexfleet/status/1330497281808887810?s=12

    That is an incredible composite that nicely shows just how close the LZ is to the launch site.

    I was looking on Google and yes- the Launch pad and Landing zone are less than 1500 ft apart. (measured 1444ft on Google maps) and the shoreline is only another 3100 ft or so away

    This NASA b-roll is pretty cool, especially the second one: one take, no cuts, launch to landing with really cool supersonic shockwaves both ways:

    (This weird link name leads to NASA, I swear.)

    Absolutely spectacular! Thanks for sharing. It's right up there with NROL-76 for watching a booster go through all its moves to the landing zone.
