Very impressive, but am I being too sceptical that the video feed suddenly cut out just before the third booster landed then came back showing the booster sitting on the ship safely? Is the footage they cut back to from another mission?...

15 seconds after the first 2 boosters land, there’s still a lot of dust and smoke wafting around, but on the ship when they ‘got the feed back’ - nothing like this. Did it really go into the drink and they’ve cut to some pre recorded footage for the third one? Also, with the amount of cameras on everything, there’s only 1 on the ship? And the footage from the booster isn’t shown either...?

Not saying it definitely didn’t land, but a bit suss IMO. Would have liked to see one video feed show it...
