TIL on reentry “thrusters fired continuously in tiny bursts to manage the capsule’s attitude (orientation) during the high-speed, 3,000°C+ plasma phase, ensuring the heat shield faced the proper direction.”

.. and so they can “fly” the capsule though the atmosphere to achieve a pretty precise landing.

You could see them still firing when the drone chutes were deployed.

Yeah. I was wondering what the flashes were until I read it on Reddit.
