A closer looks at Falcon 9 leg actuation before touching down at Vandenberg SFB following the NROL-87 mission. My remote camera was framed to capture a few frames of the process.

Launch and landing of Falcon 9 during the NROL-87 mission. Easily one of my favorite remote video cameras that I have set so far.

It’s good we have pretty much retired the expression “hover-slam”.
It neither hovers or slams, but particularly from this distance, it alights, making jet landings look violent by comparison.
What kind of wastrels would dump a perfectly good booster in the ocean after just one use?

Falcon 9 coming in hot just before leg deployment and landing. Rummaging through more remote camera captures from the NROL-87 mission out of Vandenberg SFB.

If this was the highlights video, I think they reuploaded for some reason.
