Narrative
By that time, the first stage had already splashed down; as far as I know, no other parts had separated from the rocket. upd: Some people say this might be a cloud caused by the engines shutting down. I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm this! Time: July 24, 2026 at 3:58 PM Location: Space submitted by /u/Pale_Moonlight9058
