Last time I watched a NASA launch live was Challenger in 1986… if we ignore the running commentary about the greatness of the USA, the rest was worth it, especially the last ten minutes.
@cynicalsecurity I definitely had a groan or two during one if the pre-recorded puff pieces, but overall I was (pleasantly) surprised there wasn’t a lot more of that, given the current climate.
@a yes, it was enough to groan but not to turn it all off.
