Dang it, missed the entire launch. Why do I have to take the train

Woah, what a landing! I initially thought that the booster missed the barge, but glad to have been wrong!

It seems they follow the profile of New Shepard: aim just off the landing pad (so in case of failure they don't have to rebuild it), then hover over to the pad, and descent.

Deployments at T+33:18 and T+33:48

In separation attitude. Wonky video, but should be good enough to see the probes separate.

First S/C separation!
