It’s a fun 15-20 min diversion.

Its odd to watch—and listen—to a French Flight team directing this.

I keep looking for NASA flat top haircuts and guys with white shirts and slide rules in their pockets. (My youth...)

They indicate that they lost telemetry at liftoff. So they are waiting to regain contact.

(Signing off!)
