Looked like the grid fin on the right was getting a good cooking before the feed cut.
Yup, looked like some of it burned out. Be interesting to see the post-flight condition.
Edit: or thats the thermal protection doing its job. Thanks @DaveS

Congrats SpaceX, and thanks NSF! Our internet went down right after launch, and I pulled it up on my phone on the data plan!

That was the ablative shielding doing what it was supposed to do. Methinks. Still spectacular.

Man, when that landing feed cut out, I was fearing the worst. Shouldn't have worried, good old '21 came through again! Mission isn't over yet though!

Those grid finds were getting well-cooked before the rocketcam got too schmutzed up and they cut the feed.

I like the cooking of the grid fins. It helps show that this isn't a light trip through the atmosphere.
Congrats SpaceX

T+2:43: 2nd Stage Separation
T+3:43: Fairing Separation
T+3:57: Recovery Vessels have AOS
I don't recall that final callout before or that the 1st Stage has a signal acquired by the Drone Ship and Tenders.
AOS of Fairing Recovery Signals?
