    Nice one.
    Perfect landing.
    And no Phase 3 Boom!
    (I used to feel confident once I saw the flagpole shot, but Starship has made me paranoid...)

    Finally. Successful launch, MECO, landing, and SECO. Again, waiting on lengthy coast phase before deployment.

    75th successful Falcon landing.

    Yea! That must be a record for most delayed mission. Nice to see everything work!

    The lack of video from the first stage made this the least interesting launch to watch. Complete success though.

    I'm still betting on B1051 to get to ten. I'm happy to see B1049 hit the magic eight mark after all the delays it had. A dead center landing too.
