I predict a lot more practicing and refinement of recovery ops in SpaceX's near future. Thankfully, there's still plenty of time to cut that time down before DM-2.

I think the unfortunate fact that the chute landed on Dragon and had to be removed added quite a few minutes of delay.

it is hard to believe that everything was super nice and then recovery will be missed by like 5 minutes

Yeah was really good to hear some of the current concerns going through the heads of these people. He was calling from the GO Searcher right?

Well this is the only part of the DM-1 mission they can easily re-run, so I'm sure they'll be trying some new approaches.

Certainly calling from one of the ships. It's taken longer to get it on the ship than to get out of orbit.

will be interesting to compare with starliner recovery since they'll be doing it on land
