LOL nothing - but "grid fin moves = 10/10 excitement" just leaves nowhere to go when they eventually get both stages to land successfully.

Well that was cool, shame that the booster didn't "land" in the ocean but looking forward to how Starship does.

Mixture of ground stations and Starlink. Although i believe, and i could be wrong, Starlink was mostly for data during typical 'blackout' stages of a launch and reentry with conventional ground station links.
Don't be a ****; keep it to the other thread
Tim @ Everyday Astronaut running through the milestones that this mission has hit. Lots of objectives accomplished so far, even if the booster did hit the water harder than intended.

Oh man, that view from inside the payload bay...

Went up, split in half, bottom half went to the ocean, the top half is in space.
Pointy end up, flame-y end down.
All 33 booster engines lit, Starship hot-staging worked to separate the sections, booster return burn worked but they couldn't relight the engines to soft-land on the water. Starship is currently in space.

I wonder if the bay door being stuck open will cause issues like a premature RUD?
