Thanks for sharing Steve -

When my wife watched the video of simultaneous booster landings she exclaimed, "Oh Snap!  No they didn't!!!"

(She was genuinely impressed, as was I)

Clad in SpaceX's new spacesuit <https://www.space.com/38132-elon-musk-spacex-spacesuit-crew-dragon-photo.html>, the dummy astronaut is casually drifting in space with his right hand on the steering wheel and left arm resting on the door. Along with great views of "Starman" and his $250K Tesla roadster, you can see some spectacular views of Earth in the webcast.

SpaceX has not yet said how long the live stream will last, but a recording of the webcast will probably be posted to SpaceX's YouTube page after it ends.

Agreed.

They thought it might have meant that they lost the video feed on center core. Probably lost the whole thing since nobody is talking.
