Why were there no onboard camera views this time? Seemed odd since they included them in the first launch.

Also wish they would go back to broadcasting on YouTube, the Twitter feed was a big step backward in quality.

It was definitely weird, I don't think we've heard anything about where the onboard cameras went.

Yeah...I ended up watching unofficial streams on youtube to avoid the hassle.

I ended up in a YouTube rebroadcast of the Twitter stream. I couldn't figure out if the glitchiness was from the rebroadcast or natively from Twitter...

Were there fewer ground stations compared to IFT-1? In addition to not having onboard camera views, they also seemed to have difficulty getting telemetry from the ship towards the end.

Was that telemetry issue after the ship got FTS'ed?
