And another one. At 23:20 is the best video of the 1st stage recovery landing that I've seen so far. Very well done.
I watched a video somewhere about the timing required for that landing burn. It literally has to be *exact*, because without the fuel and payload, that single Raptor engine will send the first stage right back into the sky unless it shuts down exactly as the landing legs touch down. Any longer and the thing re-launches!
