Elon posted the full landing video on twitter
There was also some circular object floating around a grid fin when it was falling back to Earth.

The way they talked over it leads me to believe that stuff like this is rehearsed.
Why hasn't anyone put the "no time for caution" track over the water landing video yet?
EDIT: I spoke too soon...

Definitely them:/r/spacexmasterrace had this knocked up minutes after the landing :)

Chances of a delay are pretty high, but it could be a day or it could be weeks. When does your flight land? It looks like the launch will be an early afternoon one, if the ISS orbit predictor is right.
I'll land around 5pm from London, but with 2 young kids it's goung to be impossible to get there even if it's a late launch.
I'm there for 2 weeks, though, so I'm really hoping for an overlap.
Yeah it'll be my fourth time going to KSC. Last time I got to see Endeavour piggy back out to LAX, so I'm hoping for a good show this time too!
Soooooo. Today we're in for a treat. Call it our Super Tuesday:

Love this as always. They're having to review some data kicked out by the Rocket at SpaceX, hope that doesn't mean no launch.
Haha, just heard that too.

Now you've gone and done it, Dan. You hyped it up too much and they're all folding under the pressure and getting cancelled one by one! :P
So to clarify, were these all to be Vandenberg launches? I mean, it's not surprising if local conditions contributed to all four scrub decisions.
Nope, 3 different U.S. states, and the 4th launch location is in France.
Ah yes, sorry I should have remembered at least the Ariane launch.
French Guiana, just north of Brazil.
Launching from France would be... interesting.
From Wikipedia:
It appears that French Guiana is still considered a region of France.
Yeah. It's France, even though it's handily close to the equator and well placed for traditional eastward launches and those tricky polar launches.
But it's a Département of France. People who live there have just as much liberté, egalité and fraternité as the rest.
