There seems to be only one webcast as with NROL-76, guess this means separate technical webcasts have been retired.
And how do you determine it's a different second stage, what kind of upgrades?

Last time it was a classified mission so we only had the first stage to watch anyway after a certain point and this time there is no landing to watch so perhaps they decided one feed was enough.
Go Searcher remains in port. Fairing recovery attempt doesn't look likely. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:426008/mmsi:366584000/vessel:GO%20SEARCHER
For a second I was hopeful they would keep showing the first stage until the feed died.
From the staff sounds at about 7:30 I wonder if they were watching a fairing experimental recovery.
I think the Spx folks were watching the S1 reentry when they were cheering. Bummer they pulled that feed from the view early I wanted to see S1 tumble in.
Was that the Highest S1 MECO Velocity to date? Velocity and Burn length compared to heaviest GTO Drone ship landing?
