Sure, telephoto lens probably makes it look closer than it is. But I was surprised how late it does the landing burn...
Anyway, the other thing I thought odd was how close some infrastructure is to the catch tower. A crash at the last minute would seemingly be an expensive exercise.
No one can deny this landing system is a technological marvel. But I still say that it is just obvious (and inadequately noted in commentary!) that no one knows how cost effective this whole system will be until they start working out how much refurbishment is needed between flights.
