No. At separation, there is a small flash which is an explosion, separating the two stages, this accelerates the first stage down to the ground and because of the extra weight, it will fall faster.

I have been watching shuttle flights online for awile now. I never saw any footage of the boosters splashing down. This is great footage!

stabilization drogue was great, but couldn’t help but remember the shuttle crews who lost their lives when i see any kind of equipment failure – i know it was just a booster chute and the load weight was high, and air pressure too – great job nasa – this is very important stuff.
