Starlinks are away.
Both fairings were caught, but one got caught in the corner (as we saw).

Worth adding that although the corner of the net didn’t hold up & gave way, crew on the recovery ship are fine.

This launch broke several SpaceX records:
-Shortest time between LC-39A launches (12d 56m)
-Shortest time between static fire and launch (26h 25m)
-Most successful fairing catches in a row (3)
It was also the 70th successful SpaceX launch since the last failure (Amos-6 in September 2016).

Was the flare in the exhaust at T+9 anything of concern ?

Does that mean that fairing that got caught in the corner fell into the water?

There was a frame of it dangling in the net that leaked through during the coast phase. I'll try to go back and find it.

That bright spot doesn't move once it appears. Just something on the camera lens.
