So what about the core?
Is the core designed to be reusable or is that a one-time-use part?
The core was supposed to land on the barge, but the video footage got disconnected and they said they don't know what happened to it yet.

For some time both streams looked like they were the same. That synchronization!
They were the same. Don't know if they did this intentionally. I actually watched them for two minutes for that, and was 99% sure they're the same image, just translated a bit. The final confirmation came near the end, when the other booster entered the view, and you could see for sure, both rectangles streamed from the same camera.
They were not the same video feed.

#53I wonder for how long we're going to get images from that tesla. there's no power source so the stream will end, but it does sit next some very huge batteries so let's hope it's going to last and we'll be able to check with the spaceman every now and then!

They were the same. In the end you could see both of them heading for the same landing pad before they cut to fullscreen.
They were not, I've watched closely and right before slowdown burn, attitude engines were firing a little late on one. It was only parts of a second, but clearly visible if you watched closely.

#56What an amazing feat! Well done SpaceX. Hope the core made it too!

#57So the car is supposed to be in an Earth-Mars orbit. It it stable or is it designed to fall to earth at some point soon (say one or two orbits)?

#58Elon over there landing rockets on drone ships, I'm over here finishing a new photo app.
Elon over there going to Mars, I can't even get this dang app to build.
Might be time to move....
