SpaceX webcast screencaps before launch:
Support your local planetarium! (COVID-panic and forward: Now more than ever.) My current avatar is saying "i wants to go uppies!" Yes, there are God-given rights. Do you wish to gainsay the Declaration of Independence?

MECO > Stage 1/2 separation > SES-1 > fairing separation

First stage begins return to earth.

Second stage accelerates towards orbital velocity.
