Is that a crater near the port aft corner?

Looks like a pile of debris to me.

Barge is clearly winning by one metric, so far none of the damage has been more than "that'll buff right out", more or less. Meanwhile rockets are reduced to piles of scrap, every time.

Anyone know how up to date these numbers on NY20 are?
On all four of these attempts the stage has touched the barge.
can we assume the deck hole means that even if it were on target it was coming in too fast for a nominal landing?
