The booster fragment recovery campaign has four aerial search parties and the group in the video - engineers, eco-feds, state officials, etc.

I wonder how much does this cost...

It's a highlights reel. What do SpaceX, ULA, Arianespace etc not want do show in their launch highlights? Exactly the same.

Great view of stage 1 sep though!

Not good : some launch pictures are Photoshopped...

Nicolas, I'm not catching the difference, other than the contrast enhancement/color saturation.  What am I missing?

EDIT:  Nevermind, I see it now!  Good catch!

Would you mind telling it so that not all of us have to spend ten minutes searching?

[Welsh Dragon]

Nothing too spectacular as far as I can see, some waste lying around was removed.
