Standing by for any updates. Parachutes are scheduled to deploy in five minutes.

Is that estimate accurate? Seems to me it would be too early between a deorbit burn (assuming it wasn't a huge one) and being under parachutes...

Burn was reported sometime around 10:20. That gives about half an hour for entry interface, and a couple minutes of entry before parachute deploy.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the entry burn can be anytime after apogee, right? So the max time from burn to EI is about 45 minutes?

Any news on stage 1 recovery? Oh well, who cares now. Let's keep fingers crossed for safe reentry.

Hopefully, SpaceX will later provide the video on their FTP server in the link that you provided before.

I wish I knew for sure this was telemetry/video based, not timeline based, but here's my hopeful:

Woot!
