How long will it take for the booster to come back and land on the boat?

As I understand it, it’ll take between 10-15 minutes after launch for the 1st stage to come back.

Stage 1 should now be in boostback, orienting itself for re-entry.

Will there be live video of the first stage landing? Last time it wasn’t released until days afterward.

Please someone let us know what happened with the first stage. I don’t engage in “social media. “

OFFICIAL TWEET FROM ELON MUSK:

“Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival.”
