That side-by-side landing was bananas.

Still quiet on the centre core, hope all is well.

I nearly wet myself when the hold down released and cheered when the boosters landed. Hope core is good too.

I guess they are going to wait a while before the final orbit raising burn?

They usually have those on the webcasts when its just a short delay.

Just after liftoff they switched to a side view and it suddenly looked like a single booster.  Momentary panic.

Agreed, the booster landing was astonishing.  My co-workers that don't follow SpaceX that closely looked at me dumb founded.

What an incredible accomplishment.

Not feeling good about the silence on the core booster status.
Starship, Vulcan and Ariane 6 have all reached orbit.  New Glenn, well we are waiting!
