• ISTR that RTLS landings actually target the water for touchdown and only shift toward the LZ shortly before touchtown. Unless commanded otherwise the landing will be at sea. What I don't know is the timing of that command.

  Pump is single string. Some landing systems are not redundant, as landing is considered ground safety critical, but not mission critical. Given this event, we will likely add a backup pump & lines.

• A view from the air... It landed much farther out in the ocean than it seemed from the one telephoto video:
