Nailed the landings again. - though with a few seconds stagger this time.

Most surprising thing was that both boosters seemed to still be thrusting as they separated from the core.

You could see the lower booster landing from the first booster's camera. That was cool.
I am pretty sure the separation showed the center core as the booster pulled away. So you were seeing opposite sides of the center core when the boosters separated.
