They warned that would happen, the real time coverage is a good show of confidence.

It always happen right after you can barely see the fire reflecting on the barge. The vibrations from the rocket screws with the satellite connection.

We don't have the technology yet to have internet in the middle of the ocean without satellites.

Why not have a small secondary ship parked about a mile away, that can act as a satellite relay? Should be able to maintain a good link over that small distance.

That's adding a lot of extra cost just to keep a live feed for going for the missing ~15 seconds around the landing.

Ultimately they're a space launch company, not a TV channel :)
