The 4 sonic booms on booster return were amazing.

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.

Any word on the core section?  I saw a tweet from someone that said he "heard
