Yeah, I fell asleep - the rumbling woke me up momentarily, but SpaceX is so routine and reliable it's not worth losing sleep.
But I will definitely stay up to watch the heavy twin boosters land.

You gotta rewatch it later. The things the cameras all over we’re catching were incredible around 2-4 minutes in.

center booster has also finished its job and it now becomes a new piece... or pieces... of trash in the Atlantic

yeah... the exhaust of the side boosters doing their boostback burns along with the exhaust of the center booster made for an amazing visual
and the 2 side boosters have successfully landed back at KSC

I'm surprised how long it takes the sonic boom to happen after the boosters already landed.

Its always so cool to watch!! They said the side boosters only used 1 engine to land vice 3, is this the first for that?

I was just thinking today that I would like to drive to Florida and see one launch but I can't imagine if I did and it got scrubbed.
The coolest thing I ever saw was one that took off aboot 45 minutes before sunup. The vapor trail was amazing when the rocket was line of sight to the sun. It was a burning ball going up until the sunlight changed the whole game.
I was in Daytona.

I think it's always 1 engine to land... but typically 3 for the entry burn
the entry burn slows the vehicle down so reentry doesn't destroy it... or as the NSF guys like to put it... it's fighting fire with fire
yeah this is the 1st time I can recall the entry burn being 1 engine instead of 3
