SpaceX's Slanted Descent

I hadn't realized how slanted/sideways the SpaceX booster descent was before it was flew into the catching arms of the tower:
 

Here's a couple of YouTube Shorts that have a broader view. Unfortunately they're not embeddable (I think).



These booster landings still never look real to me, but always like something out of a movie. Maybe that's what progress always looks like.

And whoever came up with the idea of including the cheering crowd of employees on SpaceX videos is a public relations master. Why didn't NASA ever do that? Maybe their skinny neckties were too tight.
