Good stuff!
I see they're still having problems with the barge up-link going out within 10sec of touchdown. Lost video at 27:09 even the announcer mentions it's not unusual.
Some musings here: Why does the video feed always fail during Falcon 9 landings? Space Exploration Stack Exchange
And lord knows there's plenty of that to go around.
I have no problem believing the pressure wave(s) caused by the rocket exhaust is what disrupts the video signal and until they figure out how to over come that with maybe, a quantum signal, the disruption will continue.
They were showing the launch on the morning news, they then switched to an outside shot and you could see the trail going up. Vandenberg is 275 miles south, so that was cool :)

How to see the last 'blood moon' eclipse of the decade
Super blood wolf moon 2019: When and where to see itOn the night of Sunday, January 20, sky-watchers across the Americas will have a front-row seat to a rare cosmic event, as three lunar phenomena converge to give rise to what some people are calling a super blood wolf moon.
North America, Central America, and South America will get to see all the phases of this special sky show, as the moon rides high in the eastern sky. Meanwhile, stargazers in western Europe and most of Africa will be able to watch during the early morning hours, local time, on the 21st.
Not sure how long this will last maybe we'll get to see it burn, all times Eastern.
Friday, Feb. 8, 10:45 a.m.: Departure of the Northrup Grumman Cygnus CRS-10 cargo spacecraft from the International Space Station. Release of Cygnus is scheduled at 11:10 a.m.
Note: This will be a housekeeping mission to deorbit and burn up upon re-entry over the Pacific Ocean.
