Nice launch. Awesome landing. I wonder what sort of 'chute configuration they were using. I couldn't tell if some of the shrouds of the smaller components got tangled with the larger ones on the way down.
Eight N Motors and a P Motor...I had to look up a comparison:
"N motor=8,192 A motors in impulse
O motor=16,384 A motors in impulse"
No P Motor was listed, but I'm guessing that P=32,768
So, all told, the equivalent of 98,304 A motors. Wow!

Looks like the main rocket tube had 4 chutes attached to it, couldn't tell why one of the 4 collapsed though.
If you're not outraged, you're simply not paying attention.
