There's no reason why it would now.There were thunderstorms in the neighborhood of the launch platform and therefore if the drone ship was relaying its signals via the Kennedy Space Center, it's very well possible lightning took down the feed for a while. Where technology is concerned things will go wrong at the weirdest of times. Doesn't mean they hide something or that there's need for a conspiracy. |

The reason for the signal loss has nothing to do with the camera. The high gain narrow beam antenna sending the signal to the satellite gets shaken enough that there is signal loss. After landing no vibration and the signal locks again. If you want a more terrestrial example, look back at the Worlds Series game from the Loma Prieta earthquake. Those dishes have a beam not much wider than a laser beam. Pointing is critical. |

Ah all right. I looked that up and found https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1290032/SpaceX-stream-cut-Falcon-landing-what-hiding-SpaceX-hoax-NASA-CGI However, SpaceX fans have explained the live stream anomaly was caused by vibration from the Falcon's nine Merlin engines.Of course now we go on to the next conspiracy, about what that mouse was doing on the rocket while in outer space. ;-) Ice or water falling down and vaporizing on the hot nozzle! |

Internet is fake!Yet, you're on it. :-) That would be in question, if we're really on an internet, or in some sort of matrix or simulation, thinking we're on the internet XD |

2 days after the 1st stage landing on the barge, it returned to Port Canaveral. So far, this is the only Falcon 9 flight with the "worm" version of the NASA logo, clearly visible on the side. |
