• Some curious discrepancies from what we've seen in the past:
  
  1)  Hosted Webcast didn't have pre-launch and some post-launch audio callouts as usual.  Hope that is just a one-off.
  2)  The OCISLY Camera angle doesn't seem to match the normal one where you can get a decent sense of the landing against the "landing circle"
  3)  The Stage 1 seems to have landing very far toward the near end of the droneship pretty.  Will be interesting to see if that's right and how close to bad it might have been.
