Successful 1st stage burn.
Successful 2nd stage burn.
Successful capsule separation.

At least it looked that way to me.

Thank you all for the update. D-mn! I was hoping they would achieve the soft recovery of the 1st stage.

Looks like it’s coming down at an angle like the first one that hit the ship and crashed.

They said it landed fine but it’s lateral velocity caused it to tip over.

Very close right on the ‘X’. Need to come down more vertically, I’d think.

They need to put some old mattresses down on the ship for padding.
