Mission control audio for Starlink Group 7-1 was here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFa5vyZ8BzY

I definitely did not download it while it was live. Do not PM me if you want a copy. :)

Also, the "hosted" webcast for this mission had no host. Just views of the rocket and call-outs from mission control. It will be interesting to see if they continue this "no host" format for future Starlink missions.
