75 seconds to go from 300km/h to 3000km/h. That's crazy and 121 total seconds to from 300km/h to 7300km/h

I don't want to sound like a broken record but Boeing; this is how it is done. Over and over and over SpaceX does it. And what is more, sticks the landing like May Lou Retton.

What are the small parts that you can always see moving around the collar of the Merlin vacuum engine's starboard side?

Ice

not ice. an actual part of the engine.

it's part of the mechanism, identical movement on every launch, not ice

What is that black dot that appears to move beneath Stage 1 starting at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="355">5:55</a>?

Ice maybe.

This is a sort of a smoke that comes out of the rocket engine

Nice! But that one came close to a leg being over the side and the rocket falling into the Pacific!

It was well within the circle, but I have noticed a few boosters landing a bit outside the X lately. Not sure if they are getting sloppy :P

A little too close for comfort...

It’s on purpose to avoid damaging just the middle of the droneship

The landing was just fine and inside the circle, maybe not perfect but considering how many times SpaceX has done it, I wouldn't be worried. Remember that computers fly the rockers

That's how it works! They don't aim for the centre of the circle for landing, they aim at it while in flight when speed's high enough for the grid fins to have some authority. By the time landing burn starts, the only thing they're aiming at is 0 metres above the deck (and upright?) as the rate of change of altitude goes from negative to zero. The circle is like their 'expected maximum location error' after the control regime changes. That's what makes the suicide burn so awesome compared to New Shepard fannying about in hover like it's looking for the X - they're 'doing it wrong'.
