Would Musk focusing only on it make any difference?
edit: This is not a complaint, just a question, why the downvotes? I'm used to getting downvoted for no reason, but this is basic a question, with great answers. Come on HN! We can't ask questions?

For some time both streams looked like they were the same. That synchronization!
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.
That was like watching a sci fi film when the two cores landed.... I watched it with my mother (who is 80!), and she said it was as significant as the moon landing. Do we know the fate of the centre core yet?
Anybody saw the 'Don't panic' thing on the Tesla? Made me chuckle, they sure have a sense of humor.

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.
Oh, perhaps I have the name wrong. I meant the part connected to the payload with the Merlin engine designed for vacuum, above the three main rockets (the center of which must be the core).

Yet another incredible show from SpaceX. At this point, if they said they were going to build a football stadium on Europa, my only question would be when does it open. But I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that they can launch a massive rocket on the first try and land (at least) 2 cores, but the camera STILL cuts out on the drone ship.
I do find that super weird. You would think one of the nearby ships would have a feed as well no?
any link to the center core landing video?
