Starlink 4-25: I don't believe SpaceX clarified this during the webcast but I suspect the company did not plan to recover the fairing halves from the mission today.

Tracking data shows that support ship Doug did not leave the LZ and left port without fast boats used to recover.

Wonder why?
Any idea how many times this set had flown?
Our fairing trackers are an elite bunch.
For the active half, with a clear identification mark at the bottom, it was already the seventh mission after the initial mission Amos 17, based on my tracking. I'm surprised that the commentator didn't mention it at all as a new record. Unfortunately, they are getting more and more brief in this regard.
And probably fifth mission for the passive half.

This may be why there was no fairing recovery this time. There are also enough of recovered fairings.

Attaching a screenshot of the inside of the fairing visibly without parachute lines.

Here is a comparison of the webcast telemetry from Starlink missions 4-22 and 4-25.

The differences are slight, so I'm still trying to refine the display format for maximum readability. I've made the earlier mission lines thin, and the current mission lines thicker, but I'm open to suggestions for alternatives or improvements.

Dotted vs Solid?

Inspiration4 was B1062's third mission. 5 missions after that, the signatures from the @inspiration4x crew are still visible on the booster.
