    I don’t know, I mean, take a pencil and focus a(n) intense flashlight on the near close end down range from afar. It’s hard to keep such a focused shadow in one consistent area.
    Great, now you’ve got me questioning booster landings like a tin foil hat wearing person questions the 1969 landing on the moon. It’s all a big hoax, and Tacomaworld is in on it to warsh ma’ brain!!!!

    Such a great interview with Elon Musk about Starship, with someone that can speak at his level. I started watching it again because of so much information given at a very fast clip by Musk.

    Exactly. You're not going to see the shadow because you are too close to the surface the shadow is projecting to. If you had a million lumen flashlight and a friggin log, then you would see the shadow.

    Thanks for the heads up, I was off a day since I’m on vacation, thought it was tomorrow. Your post made it so I could catch that landing footage live! Thanks!
