Was in miami and really hoping to see launch but saw zero from there even with clear skies.  Did this rocket have northward trajectory?

I think that might have been the best quality live video of a barge landing we've ever gotten.

If not the most complete from what I remember.  Liked the bouncing rocket, though.  ;D

T+40 minutes. Over the Indian Ocean. Second ignition is in five minutes 55 seconds for two seconds.

Fairing in the boat!

That's excellent, thanks for the heads up! Looks like they have a secondary, smaller net under the main one to raise it up and dampen down oscillations on the fairing bouncing on top?

One minute to second ignition.

Ms. Tree caught the fairing but the other boat missed.

I think that is the net they drop over the side to fish a fairing out of the water.
