I don't know who needs to know this or cares, but today we're literally (hopefully) launching humans to the moon for the first time since 1972.

The mission is largely similar to Apollo 8 (1968) - they will leave earth, swing around the moon once (called a free-return trajectory), and back to earth in the span of 10 days.

We're on the way to the moon!!

But holy fuck, that was some of the worst camera work I've ever seen in a rocket launch. Shots glitching out and cutting to black, long-range cameras that couldn't stay framed on the rocket, and a 3D animation running at 1 FPS. And they straight-up missed the booster separation and cut to a different shot right when it happened.

It's like they got rid of both the talent and the technology that they already had with the HD Shuttle launches.

@themaritimegirl Sounds like the videography crew got replaced with AI.
