The booster should be landing back at the cape in a couple minutes.
Watched it live and in person. A couple of trivia items:
- It's a clear night and the booster was visible glowing for a few seconds immediately after separation.
- The second stage burn was visible post booster landing.
- The first re-entry/braking burn was a little further north in the sky than usual due to the northeast launch trajectory.
- The double sonic boom was LOUD tonight. I don't understand atmospheric acoustics well enough to predict how loud each instance will be - this one was startling.

Watched it live and in person.
Instead, it flew up as far as possible and is now gliding around up there - we ain't piercing the veil...

Where did you watch? Want to see one someday but would rather watch from a beach or something other than the launch facility.

I went and saw the last night shuttle launch and it was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Jealous you got to go watch this.
