Is it my imagination, our does the rocket have a slight lean to it on the barge?

![]() In the shots they showed of it from the barge itself a minute or so later, it looks perfectly solid. |

HD (4K if you can do it) version of the landing from the chase plane. It definitely hops a bit there right when it lands.

Would love to see video of the barge coming into port if anyone finds any! Think it is supposed to come in tomorrow? Can't wait to see it fly again this summer.

Complete mission success (pending a successful return in a few weeks).

While we wait on some pics of the booster coming back, would you guys mind giving me some feedback on this thread itself? I enjoy having a place to chat about this stuff, but I'm well aware that about 1/3rd of the posts in here are mine. I don't have a problem with that since I'm doing a lot of posting from around the interwebs, but I don't want to go so crazy with it that it's annoying to have the thread bumped all the time with boring info either.
So if you would, let me know what you think. I'll add a poll just to give me some concrete numbers, but just generally let me know if you think the level of content I post in here should be 1) slowed down a bit, 2) kept about the same, or 3) dive even more into the minutiae into things like launch schedules, press conferences, etc. Oh, and thanks to those who have let me know they enjoy keeping up with this stuff privately. I know there are at least a few - I just want to gauge interest from others. ![]() --- EDIT TO ADD: I could also be convinced to re-brand this as the "Space Megathread" and talk about other cool space shit, but I don't want to overlap with Fish's science thread too much either.
