Big fan of making technical spacecraft manoeuvres sound like cool skateboard tricks.

I'm more impressed by the booster landings though :-)

Seeing a launch/landing in-person is on my bucket list.

I saw the live stream yesterday and when the two side boosters landed side-by-side synchronously it was almost as if it was out of a movie. We are living in the future!

On this launch, it looks like they offset the timings to reduce the chance of tipping over.

If you get time, go look for the first FH booster landings. The timing is almost perfect and the long exposure images looked beautiful.

They are supposed to be offset for radar purposes. The fact the first time was so close was a mistake, fortunately it worked.

On reddit a lot of people enphasised that it was to avoid interference. Which interference, no one knows.

Incorrect. Gift that you give to me, no one knows,

It's certainly very cool. I saw the night launch/landing of Falcon 9 out of Vandenberg a few months back. Certainly worth the overnight trip.

Most impressive part for me was that you see the booster make it's landing burn and touchdown BEFORE you hear the landing at the observation site.

Hoverslam!
