Was there a jump cut at the end or was the person collecting the chute really mere steps away from where it landed?

Jump cut. We helicoptered in, but it took about 20 minutes.

That is still an impressive aim that y'all achieved. Congrats!

IDK what your job title is, but 'helicoptered in to collect a recently landed spacecraft from the desert' sounds like an awesome day at work.

Seriously muddy sneakers tho.

I laughed - looks exactly like the "playa stilts" you see after rainfall at Burning Man.

I don't really have a job description, I just solve problems.

That sounds worrying. Maybe they shoot you up next.

Awesome video you created! Looks like there is bad weather over half of the planet though.

You can tell it was a cut, by the way the person faded into view.
