It's a shame SpaceX never/rarely releases any of the onboard footage from the droneship. I understand that the live connection cuts out when a rocket comes down with it's engines on full thrust pointed right down at the ship, but surely the cameras on the ship store the footage.

Since the landing was a particularly difficult and rough one, I'd love to see HD footage of the rocket coming in and landing on the deck of the ship.

That's not true, usually a day or two after the landing Elon or SpaceX post the footage to Instagram and then later to YouTube.


Not always, but I would say in cases like this when it's interesting (hot landing) Elon normally does come through with the goods on Instagram/Twitter.
