Exactly.
Nothing to see here.

Fog so thick that ... you know .... you couldn’t see the launchpad 4 miles away.

And the booster landing?

A momentary glimpse of the booster flame 1 second before landing.

The sonic booms were loud and crisp.

That’s all, folks!

I watched it on youtube. Not quite as well timed as these but they did both successfully land.

They're hoping to test Starship for 90 minutes in orbit before the year ends.

I saw the takeoff, for a few seconds (it really moved fast!!!) then it went through some clouds and we lost sight for about 10 seconds, then we saw it above the clouds until it disappeared.

Sounds were incredible, about 20 seconds later- amazing how far they travelled.

Then about 6 minutes later we saw the boosters coming down high in the sky, lost them in a cloud layer, then saw them come out the bottom of the clouds and slowly land. Incredible.

Once again about 20 seconds later 2 sonic booms - very loud
