Any idea as to when the next RTLS launch will be for the Cape?

The next ones that I am aware of is the 2 boosters for the FH USSF-52 on July 7th (ish) and the Crew 7 launch on August 17 (ish). There may be others that are possible, of course.

I also thought that until I noticed that the “cloud layer” was partially obscuring the graphics at the bottom of the video.

Hmmm. So both then? The production person slipped their slider on the video merge/wipe and the full frame cloud video momentarily obscured some of the graphics layer?
