So far, it's perfect!
Payload deploy next.
Beautiful flight!
S turns were crazy.
I liked watching the booster hang above the ocean for a few seconds before powering down and plummeting to its death
Same with the Starship but lower above the ocean. Still blew up when falling over. boo
On the downside, during reentry, I still saw tiles flying off. Granted, way way less.
Starship did a 110 degree turn during the subsonic region to simulate it's approach to the new tower and catch arms. So cool.

Was that a drone shot? So clear. If you watch the NSF coverage, you really see the hover and then drop.
FF to 6 minutes into the flight (3/4 of way through the video):

First launch ended up in a boom during re-entry. (Orbit was successful)
edit: Launch moved to 50 minutes...
boo scrubbed
Lack of good weather. But rescheduling should be interesting with the new launch restrictions. A Mars launch has pretty tight windows.
Blue Origin New Glenn Flight #2:
Landed it!!! Interesting to see it hover then horizontally translate to the barge.
