Fuel tank is before the boosters, I think and yes, they recover the rockets
at least, they have parachutes that aid in landing the rocket on the ocean.
You can listen to a rocket descent on youtube, try for atlantice rockets,
they seem to have the most interesting sounds when they fall and land.

Hi Thomas,
Yes, on the launches they always report altitude, time and down range. So
at some time they do not go directly vertical. I am not sure if the solid
rocket boosters are ejected at the same time as the external fuel tank or
before. Wonder if they recover any of that stuff out of the ocean or if
it is all at the bottom of the ocean. Same for the different stages of
the Saturn rockets which launched all of the Apollo missions. Not sure if
it were Saturn rockets for the Gemini and Mercury missions though.
