I'm amazed the thing landed right next to the Buoy, and was seen from the BuoyCam.

This has happened many times so far. Control to reach a specific landing point is quite good (when things don't go boom first)

Well that's part of what makes this interesting. Some part of it did go boom. Looked like a COPV or something exploded sometime after payload deployment
