SpaceX now has two boosters with 7 missions under their belts. The race to 10 continues!

Looked like a fly, seemed to be only a temporary distraction. Somewhere I read it had all the proper clearances to observe the SXM 7 launch. Not confirmed, rumored to have been dispatched from the current Head of the National Space Council.

I think B1051 wins the contest for most dramatic lean. You can see from the landing picture above that this had to have happened on the way back tp port.

Big winner! Wow
It was bad weather on the way to port: https://twitter.com/ChrisG_NSF/status/1339669259417481240
