Here we go...

I liked when they had the speed and altitude shown for the first stage during landing as well as the second, not sure why they got rid of it.

Is it an illusion or is it rocking? Or is the camera?

I think it rocks a tiny bit. It's part of why the strongback is there and why they have max wind speeds. It's obviously able to handle a little movement though.

I'd just never seen it before today. Not as cool as the shuttle twang, but pretty neat to see it move like that.

The movement is pretty obvious when it's sped up:

Awesome thanks. It almost looks like the strongback caused it watching that, like it got hung up a little or something. The wobble is greatest right after release and in the direction of the strongback.

Yeah, it definitely seems a LITTLE odd, though I want to say I've noticed it a little bit in the past. Wonder if the wind was blowing in the direction of the strongback or something.

Hell of a view from the droneship tonight.

That's just incredibly badass. So cool.

Crew-4 is on their way back and will splash down a little before 5pm ET today. If any of you are in eastern Missouri, you might have a shot of picking it up on its way down, though it'll obviously be a bit difficult in the daylight.

I guess there were some weather spotters out in SW Iowa today to see if they could see it.

SpaceX is targeting Thursday, October 20 for a Falcon 9 launch of 54 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 10:50 a.m. ET (14:50 UTC), and a backup opportunity is available on Friday, October 21 at 10:29 a.m. ET (14:29 UTC).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III Space Vehicle 04, GPS III Space Vehicle 05, Inspiration4, Ax-1, Nilesat 301, and four Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.
