No video from either stage... seems a bit odd.

I suspect the loss of video was an issue on the receiving end since both stage feeds came back at once.

Was there an AOS callout right around that time?

I also wonder if the support ships had tracking and were relaying it through starlink, based on getting video all the way down to the deck of OCISLY.

S1 trajectory and re-entry profile was substantially different from previous instances. 

Topped out about 126km + ~14km over usually and entry burn ended at ~100-200 km/h faster around 6000km/h

Very likely, since the video feed from the drone ship was 2-3 seconds behind. (if it was routed through the drone ship the two video feeds should be synced)

Interesting, the original SpaceX host, Jessie Anderson, disappears about 5:30 into launch and is replaced by another young lady. High turnover rate?

Too many people were trying to intercept SpaceX telemetry (and publish it on the twitters)

Probably led to the issues with camera views

https://twitter.com/r2x0t/status/1379843322152431622

Now these same people want to try to decrypt it

Nice profile of the Inspiration4 crew before launch and outline of their respective roles during the mission.

I *seriously* doubt that had anything whatsoever to do with the SpaceX video feed issues at launch and continuing through the first few minutes of flight. Otherwise you’re claiming SpaceX can’t decrypt their own video feed. Bear in mind that serious video feed encryption is literally consumer-grade technology at this point.
