WOW that is insane - I know they already do a good deal more than other aero companies, but I always wish they released more of this footage.
SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell showed a video with an incredible perspective of fairing separation during a talk with @IridiumBoss this week.

Once they safely catch a fairing, I'm sure they'll begin releasing more footage of it. They've got to have footage all the way down to impact.

I can’t stop watching, not because of the flames hitting the fairing at the end, but the view of the second stage in action!

It would be interesting to watch the video as it falls back thru the atmosphere or as long as the camera holds up.

Ask and ye shall receive! SpaceX had been strapping GoPros (literally) to the fairings in a series of tests leading up to the addition of recovery systems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_sLTe6-7SE …
