    I watched the launch.

    America

    Why the fuck does your space agency shoot worse video of a historic event then a YouTube channel celebrating 100K subscribers.

      You try getting video from something that, within 30 minutes, accelerates to 18000 MPH. Literally, it will change what frequencies you even have to listen to, let alone the crazy amount of interference experienced during the process of exiting thr atmosphere.

      Literally, the air compressing and ignighting against the shell of the space craft itself will produce crazy signals, let alone every other effect.

      There is a reason it took even SpaceX over a decade to keep signals remotely intelligable with their booster recoveries, let alone launches aimed directly at the moon.

        That’s true but it doesn’t explain the black screen at liftoff and cutting to spectators during the booster separation.
