Despite my many concerns & reservations, I can’t deny that this is a very cool image.

See? That’s how they get you 🤷‍♂️😬

#ArtemisII

@markmccaughrean @TechBean that shot was definitely the best of the entire launch
@josh0 @TechBean The rest was surprisingly pedestrian, to be honest: I somehow expected some more interesting angles & sequences.

@markmccaughrean @TechBean I was really hoping we’d get to see the solar arrays deploy, or really any live shots after MECO. Though I guess they’re at a higher orbit than the launches we typically see.

Say what you will about SpaceX, their launch broadcasts are well produced, and the shots of the Starlink satellites deploying are really cool to watch.

I was kind of hoping we’d get a sideways comment about WHY there were so many more objects interrupting the launch window than Artemis I, though. Perfect spot for an angry goose meme: who put them there?!

"Say what you will about SpaceX, their launch broadcasts are well produced, and the shots of the Starlink satellites deploying are really cool to watch." I was saying this exact thing to my brother today after the glitchy shots and "crowd shots" filler but yeah, a bit of more production on this would have been fantastic to have.

@oscarfalcon @markmccaughrean @TechBean what really sucks is that I’ve actually worked with NASA on some of their publicity stuff in the past, and its definitely not the people at the agent who are holding any of this back from being awesome.
