Thank you Alicia for the great video and for enduring physical pain trying to get the zoom shots for us!

Weird to think that stage has been into orbit TWICE!. Takes getting used to.

Did anyone note the time OCISLY docked? Feels like quicker time to lift than in the past?
Maybe we need to start a new thread, but it looks like this one was burned badly. Does anyone have a guess if this one can be refurbished to fly again? I know the grid fins are going to be changed to titanium. Titanium grid fins might be thinner than aluminum due to its far better heat resistance to lighten it some. However, the bottom seems to be burned pretty bad. I don't know if they can get 100 uses out of one.
The deck looks extra toasty. Maybe that "block 1 solution" brought back the post-landing RP-1 discharge issue.Edit to attach an image from the above link.
