Why did camera on drone ship loose connection??
Rocket is extra toasty and hit the deck hard (used almost all of the emergency crush core), but otherwise good

It always does. Because the drone ship shakes as the rocket approaches, throwing off aim of the dish antenna sending signal to relay vessel.

Does it record locally so we get to see a better version later?
-
Yes. We'll get surely get better video in the next few days as have for most previous drone ship landings where the feed *always* breaks up.

Which means *it doesn't work for its intended purpose*. Maybe it's a low priority, IDK. Things to fix ... --> Live feed of landing <-- ...

Yes, why doesn't Elon build a network of cell phone towers in the middle of the ocean so he can live stream from there? :P

Ha! Much simpler and cheaper solutions already exist. When they want to fix it, they will. I wonder if the "blackout" is intentional.
-
And of course the blackout isn't intentional. They don't "blackout" land landings. And they show us the hard-copy recorded video later.

Were you mean to it because it won't be reused again?

Hey, that's a valid test scenario! I'm sure they've done it hundreds, nay thousands of times in simulations

I do it regularly in KSP...

Well, i mean if Elon isn't going to become Batman, he can at least play KSP in real life...

Have you ever seen Elon and Batman in the same room together
I haven't ...
