Despite the other comments, the landing spot is clearly the same as where it took off. Take a screenshot at 0:09 and one at 0:48 and you can see that it's most certainly the same pad. The camera has moved slightly to the left on the landing, that's all. Someone must have run out and grabbed the risers.

Nope. https://global.honda/en/topics/2025/c_2025-06-17ceng/image_download.html?from=topicslink_media https://global.honda/en/topics/2025/c_2025-06-17ceng/image_d... Video three and four clearly show it lands a little bit away from the risers. Same pad, but only 1/2 comments--not mine--suggested it was a different pad.

  This is Taiki site, so either within the circular pad at (42.500394123580, 143.43589082745), or maybe from the end of 08R to neighboring Interstellar Tech pad area? 1: https://maps.app.goo.gl/BhfWBSBWgPQaa64g7 https://maps.app.goo.gl/BhfWBSBWgPQaa64g7

    I thought that at first when I went looking for it, but the pad in the video from the rocket's perspective is an octagon. It's more consistent with this: https://www.google.com/maps/search/honda/@42.5442372,143.4939479,69m/ https://www.google.com/maps/search/honda/@42.5442372,143.493... The surrounding features are a match.

  In this video [0] at the 50-51s mark you can see the rocket landing just meters away from what looks like the 4 metal standoffs it took off from.

    I can't tell whether you're agreeing or disagreeing, or something else. You said exactly what I said in response to the comment where I said it. Can you clarify?
