Falcon Heavy's side boosters landing back on Earth after launching the Psyche spacecraft to orbit
I suspect this is never, ever going to get old for me.
I can promise, it won't. Ever.
A close view from the landing zone as a Falcon Heavy side-core booster returns to the launch site after a job well done lifting @MissionToPsyche into space. 📸 me for @considercosmos
I know I complained that NASA's cameras were out of focus for the booster return on the Psyche launch.... but there was another camera!
Mind posting the source for this from NASAs page? Trying to find it with no luck.
It appears to have disappeared just as I was working on downloading it something odd is going on
Oct 18, 2023 KENNEDY SPACE CENTERWe were disappointed with the weather. 90 Degrees and 95 percent humidity. Perfect for launching rockets, horrible for viewing rockets.

Thanks for finding and sharing.
The @SpaceX patch for the @NASAJPL PSYCHE Falcon Heavy mission is now viewable.
Can they do that for this mission? or does this mission have an instantaneous window and if it is instantaneous, exactly why, (Jim is claiming that it is instantaneous due to the inability to do RAAN steering, I'm not yet convinced)
