The external sploosh starts earlier than the internal sploosh, but I wonder if that might be steam that's not visible to the internal camera, rather than the actual sploosh.
Epic!Is the Orbcomm external and internal lined up?
The "MVac ignition" call comes what seems like a beat or two too much later than the ignition of the MVac.
There's websites that you can use to generate music - maybe ujam.com?
I'm thinking the last few seconds of the external video are actually slowed down from realtime. SpaceX has widely used 60 fps cameras for launch and Grasshopper-related videos. If the footage is being played back at 30 fps it would make sense for it to appears to last 2x as long.
Hmm.The resolution and quality is bad, but there appears to be another vapour/donut that starts later. Basically the mist disc is quite thin, then a second thicker disc starts. Very subtle.
(btw: Youtube can remove audio very well! Any suggestions for music welcome )
That's essentially what you do with face throttling. You have to avoid pump stall, but that just means throttling the GG, which is how the Merlin apparently does it. http://jasc-controls.com/jasc-industry-listing/space/space-fluid-management/bi-propellant-valve/

Any idea why they would use a different valve on the second stage?

Very subtle.If I line that up with the side camera it is almost perfect.... To the viewer... I don't think they'll pick a difference though.(btw: Youtube can remove audio very well!
