I watched the roman telescope launch. Anyone notice that one of the boosters didn't land on the pad? Or maybe the camera just froze or something.

They said both landed ok so was just wondering if it was just off camera and landed in the grass or something.

I watched it yesterday, and both of the side boosters landed safely on their pads.....

Because they are banking on Starship. I can almost guarantee that if for whatever reason, Starship is not rated for human flight by the time 2030 rolls around or the ISS is still flying, SpaceX won't retire Crew Dragon unless NASA decides to stop funding trips.

Last thing I read was the ISS was supposed to come down in 2030 but of course the NASA path changes hour by hour.
