Here is a comparison between the first stage telemetry for Starlink L21 and L22. The main differences are:

1. The vee-shaped throttle bucket of L21 compared to the flat bottomed bucket of L22.
2. The slightly lower acceleration of the life leader L21 B1051.9 booster from about T+110s, resulting in MECO a couple of seconds later than its B1060.6 junior.

Liftoff!

Falcon 9 B1060 begins its 6th journey to space, carrying 60 #Starlink satellites to orbit in the wee hours of the morning here on the Space Coast.

Falcon 9 illuminates the Space Coast on its 6th flight.

B1060 got its start flying a GPS-III satellite, with Turksat 5A and a few Starlinks sprinkled in there.

After a successful landing on OCISLY, we’ll see her back in port in a few days!

First I have seen the landed booster giving its view from its own camera

Also first time I remember seeing simultaneous stage 1 and stage 2 views during stage separation.  A couple of new tricks!

That’s not new, been shown many times in the past.

I am always searching for new perspectives from around the Space Coast. Here’s a shot I’ve been wanting to try for a while of @Explorationtwr and #Falcon9 🚀 #Starlink

Starlink recovery update:

Stand in fairing recovery ship Shelia Bordelon is keeping a steady pace and should be back by tomorrow. I can only assume OCISLY is not far behind GO Quest with a possible return of late Friday/early Saturday. #SpaceXFleet #Starlink

Shelia Bordelon has returned to Port Canaveral with two fairing halves that she lifted out of the water with her crane.  They look intact, but are not tarped. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX

Sheila's second fairing half is already airborne and almost on the truck. #SpaceXFleet #SpaceX

I haven't seen this posted yet. Public radio outlet Northwest Public Broadcasting is reporting that debris seen over NW skies was due to a failed Falcon 9 2nd stage deorbit burn.

Edit: Apologies. This is indeed the L17 2nd stage that re-entered the other night. Not L22's.

I suppose the question they should be asking themselves is, what does a 2nd stage reentry after a successful de-orbit burn look like.

I believe that’s from L17. The discussion starts from this post:

Exactly the same, but no one sees it because it is somewhere south of New Zealand.
