That’s true, the boosters launched separately, retracted their legs, burned for a few seconds and then coasted upwards, eventually joining with the center core in space. #cant -argue-with-crazy

There are only 2 elements in the universe, believing it's more complicated than that because of a few exceptions is ridiculous!

Check out this shockwave creating a sharp refraction in the exhaust:

I also love this shot where you can see the supersonic shocks distorting the cloud behind it, and then as it falls into thicker air the steering starts to really change the booster's direction. Shame that low clouds moved in at exactly the wrong moment.

View of the landing from the other booster's point of view

Amazing views, rocket powered camera window cleaning, and a clean touchdown for both boosters! With a much bigger staggered return than I remember making for some views of a booster landing from another booster landing.

Even the side booster camera are fogged in.

That center core is going way faster and farther than any previous Falcon center core - and it's not going to survive the return to earth.

And side booster separation, watch them flip and head for home

Getting some recirculation advancing up the side

3 Boosters, supersonic and going through MaxQ

And Liftoff.... somewhere in there.

Oh boy....

Orbex get a lease guaranteeing them decades long access for a launch site.
No guarantees about fog of course.
