Expected LOS, no info on S1 landing yet

Stage one looked to my untrained eye that it was in a bit of a roll prior to the entry burn.

One of those perks of living in Florida, just watching rockets launch into space from the backyard to start the weekend, as seen from Tampa, Florida.

Very belated S1 landing confirmed (on mission control audio)

I know the mission is ongoing but I feel Siva is owed a shout-out. I have a lot of noise in my house right now, yet even at low volume his commentary was easy to understand, including when he was talking very fast.

Oh, and Sage 1 did land!
