Noticed this, wonder if this (the stage went whizzing by it) is related to the loss of the 1st Stage?:

No landing? BOOOO
I guess it's too much to ask for while you watch the economy collapse is real time...

1st Stage looked like it was oscillating a bit (then stabilized) before they lost signal. Primary mission of deploying payloads was a success. |

Totally lame observation on my part, but it looked like the booster was slow on the liftoff period. I know there’s the weird perception of acceleration thing, but even knowing that, it looked like the first stage was “slow” about 16 seconds out of the gate.

Looks like the booster might have lost an engine just before MECO.

Everyday Astronaut was playing a slow mo of about 2 minutes in and thought it looked like they may have lost an engine. Circular looking explosion in the exhaust.

SpaceX may have missed a rocket booster landing but it snagged both nosecone halves
The title was misleading. Both fairing halves were recovered from the water. "Although SpaceX sadly lost a record-breaking rocket booster and suffered a significant in-flight anomaly during its sixth Starlink launch, the company later revealed that it successfully recovered both of Falcon 9’s nosecone halves. Starlink V1 L5 is now the second time ever that SpaceX – or anyone, for that matter – has successfully reused an orbital-class launch vehicle payload fairing, while the mission also marked the first time that SpaceX managed to recover a reused Falcon fairing. The burn from booster issues certainly isn’t fully salved, as twin fairing catchers Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief both missed their fairing catch attempts, but both twice-flown fairing halves were still successfully scooped out of the Atlantic Ocean before they were torn apart. This is perhaps the most important milestone for SpaceX’s fairing recovery and reuse program since the first successful catch (June 2019) and first successful reuse (November 2019). With a twice-flown fairing now safely in hand for the first time, SpaceX will hopefully be able to dramatically expand its understanding of how flight-proven fairings – especially those that were fished out of the sea – stand up to launch conditions. If these flight-proven halves appear to be in great condition, it could be a boon for the near-term future of fairing recovery and reuse." |

Got 5 launches from her, not bad.
Elon stated 'that's why 9 engines are better'. Payload deployed, mission accomplished. |

4-5 launches seems to be the limit. This is the second booster they've lost recently. Still impressive!

Thank You!
It has been 2 years, 2 months, 8 days, 4 minutes and 39 seconds since launch. Seems like the launch was 'just the other day'. As one ages, time flies by much faster it seems. |
