It does appear to lean to the right after engine cut out, but that could be distortion. Seas calm, not much wind.

Great job.

There’s nothing to indicate the scale. The seas were actually quite rough and I think the gusts were up to 50 mph. The rocket was blown off center by the wind. Once it touched the deck it could no longer compensate for the wind. The previous long range videos showed how much the rocket was leaning into the wind.
