They did leave two tiles off the aft end and put in a thinner tile. Possible that those spots burned through and damaged the sensors, but the sea-level engines were healthy enough to still work.
Yeah that was odd - at other points the video cut out but the other telemetry was coming through so if the video was running I’d expect everything else to too.
I was thinking earlier when it lost the signal but those cameras were amazingly resilient - even when the lens got ruined by the fin smoke we got to see more when it cracked and could see the sparks through the holes.
Official confirmation of the relight then. I wonder why it didn’t show up on the telemetry?

I mean the camera got absolutely beat to shit so I wasn’t shocked it cut out/reboot/whatever
