Stage 1 to stage 2 mass ratio is too high on Falcon 9, necessitating a long entry burn. This is fixed on Starship.

Congratulations to SpaceX for their 15th launch of the year! That launch rate equates to 88 launches for 2023 - amazing cadence.

Incredible to see the high angle of attack that #SpaceX is flying their boosters at as they arc over at the top of their gravity turn. My viewing angle today made that very easy to observe. #starlink
