With these angles, which were captured both from prepositioned drones and buoy cameras, we get a much better view of the landing maneuver in addition to the state of the ship and its heat shield.
Despite the more aggressive reentry profile and even a missing tile apart of a test, the vehicle looks to have held up better than any previous upper stage.
