From Gizmodo - https://gizmodo.com/all-the-cool-things-going-to-space-tonight-aboard-a-spa-1835816425"The Falcon Heavy will also release a dozen Oculus-ASR nanosatellites, each weighing 154 pounds (70 kg). Built by a student group from Michigan Technological University, these satellites will be used as targets for calibrating ground-based telescopes tasked with monitoring spacecraft in orbit."I don't know where the classification breaks are (or if there are any official break points) but 154 pounds seems to me to be more than "nano". What I do know for sure though is that those folks up at Michigan Technological University are super awesome

Look to me that the first stage started to spin wildly on the leftmost monitor. Guessing one of the Grid fines did not deploy and went wild.
looks like it almost do divert maneuver at the end of first core landing to safe droneship

Guessing one of the Grid fines did not deploy and went wild.I don't know which screen you mean, but just before impact, landing legs were deployed and there was no spin.You can see the core come dead center from above the droneship (see exhaust impinge on deck) (attachement)then the core suddenly drifts of, gives full power and flies away at extreme angle of attack, almost as if aborting the landing to save the droneship. it then hits the water way behind the dronship flying away from it.you can see the deployed landing legs looking from behind into the engines. there was no spin
