  This landing marked the fastest turnaround of a droneship at just over 5 days. The launch also marked the fastest turnaround time from SLC-4E at 5 days, 5 hours, 22 minutes, and 20 seconds - this is down from about 6.5 days with the previous record.

• This comes from a local TV (that recently hired a former NASA meteorologist to do their weather coverage).  They positioned their helicopter over the city of Ventura (60 miles away) so that their camera could pick up and track the launch.  Lisa narrates.  Since she is pro Space, we may get some coverage from her so long as the skies are clear.
  
  Skip to 34 seconds.

• Thanks, Steven, that's twice in a row for bad livestream from SpaceX, almost occurring at the same spot and returning almost before MECO.  Something doesn't smell right.  Thanks for the coverage.  Must be frustrating.
