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?
