There's another version of the inbound booster, this time slowed up 4X and with the target barge indicated. It shows, I think, that they are using a 'go long' algorithm which can always be brought short as it were. It would be much more trouble to correct a short aim.
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Contrary to what I've said before, the eburnation of the vanes is not mainly due to the rocket plume but from hypersonic ablation.
( edit ) Plus an apparently "real time rate" version ie. the video length is how long it actually took to land from MECO to barge. Again I stand in awe of the engineering prowess required to do this.
I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

This is starting to look easy.
Amazing!!!! Another

Amazing!!!! Another success!!! Some of the imaging of the 2nd stage is incredible. And did you notice the thrusters pulsing during 1st stage return?
Nicely done

Indeed. This is Elon's definition of success BTW.
