did the CORE land as well? And what about the Roadster? They did not show those.

  They showed the roadster, no news on the center core yet it seems.

  They did show the Roadster, it's in space now. The cameras on the drone ship cut out so they're still waiting to find out if CORE landed. The two boosters landing simultaneously was breathtaking.

    > they're still waiting to find out if CORE landed They most certainly had another set of eyes next to the drone ship, so they already know. It's just us who's waiting to find it out.

If you look at the footage closely you see that they used the same footage for both boosters. Nevertheless, the landing was superb. edit: https://youtu.be/wbSwFU6tY1c?t=37m53s https://youtu.be/wbSwFU6tY1c?t=37m53s

  The announcer addressed this, he said that he footage was not the same but looked similar because of the proximity of the boosters to each other. I think they were just extremely well choreographed. If you watched the side view from the landing pad they landed at almost exactly the same time.

    In the on-board footage both landed on the same pad. https://youtu.be/wbSwFU6tY1c?t=37m53s https://youtu.be/wbSwFU6tY1c?t=37m53s

      Ah you're right. If you go back a few seconds you can see its using different camera angles. I'm guessing they just accidentally switched both to the same booster for the landing shot.

    Its an easy mistake to make. Given they seem to use Livestream i am going to go out on a limb that they also use Livestream Studio....great software but when you are setting up PiP and copy and paste it is incredibly easy to forget to change the input source on the second frame.

  Are you sure? It's at least cropped differently - in the right screen you can see more of the "metal foot".
