Was expecting a little more debris to be kicked up on touchdown. Wonder if the rockets didn't fire or just the camera angle?
Sounds like it was all good, so just the dust not being visible on the IR view.

Does Starliner have landing rockets? I know New Shepard does, but I thought Starliner might just have airbags. Also, there may have been a small hill between the camera and the landing site, so we might not have seen the exact moment of landing, given the low camera angle.
