That was very fast.  Just a little over 4d from departure to return to port

The Vandy ASDS trips do seem to have better cycle times and much better sea conditions than the East coast.  The cycle time may seem shorter because home port is 100+ miles down range of the launch site.

I love west coast launches, I wish there were 3 a month, every month.
Starship, Vulcan and Ariane 6 have all reached orbit.  New Glenn, well we are waiting!

Its a pretty epic experience even from that distance
