Awesome launch. Reminds me of the early days in the 50s and 60s. Except back then every second rocket blew up.

They never actually showed it land...surely somebody got a video of that, if not we'll never hear the end of it from Flat Earther's, and the like.

I did notice two things:
--- at about a 60 km altitude you began to detect a curvature of the horizon that became progressively more pronounced as altitude increased
--- the fish eye lens at the landing barge gave a reverse curvature of the horizon

Too much exhaust to film from slowing down that fast?
Remember a puff of smoke is cheaper too.
Why did the hosts have to say "remember the earth's a sphere"?

Those liars at NASA! Bunch of commie, pinko, socialist, evolutionist, Satanic jerks.
Oh wait! I forgot! This was a capitalist thing. Forget the above.

There is video of the landing now at about 21:18.
As I watched the first time around, I was only halfway paying attention to what they were saying and I thought they kept saying the line "of course I still love you", right out of the blue and I'm like...what?
Turns out that's the name of the landing pad or something like that.

Watched the video, wish I had watched it live; someday that'll be an insignificant footnote in history but right now it's a big step forward. Looking forward to the coming years in science and tech
