I sure wish they'd put some money and time into getting spectacular launch shots again like they did so well in the Apollo and Shuttle days. Bring back high speed film I say! A little love goes a long way for posterity.

    I guess you re-uploaded this video? I'm pretty sure I already responded to this. Matter of fact, I know I did.

    Thank you Fran – you are absolutely spot-on! The "old" film footage is spectacular, awe-inspiring, motivating, and very valuable even now, for many reasons, certainly for preserving an extremely important part of history. Apollo was and still is awesome!

    I agree. Thank you

    But did they manage to get any pictures back from that camera? 😅

    Have we not have a firmament?

    Well NASA staunchly refused to put a camera on the JSWT telescope, with all sorts of reasons as to why it couldn't be done! Too bad the US taxpayer can't even see what nearly $11 billion dollars looks like in flight….The Chinese put ejectable disposable cameras on theirs so they do not interfere with the main process of the machine.

    I wonder if Space X does have some beauty shots archived but wont release them until after the Falcon series is retired for fear of competitors getting useful information? Sensors are fine but sometimes a visual reference is helpful to understand a situation.

    "They'll never do it" – who knows, that could end up being the "challenge accepted" moment!

    When something that big farts. The world chokes. And like a flatulant Staffordshire Bull Terrier, it vacates the area having dealt its deadliest.

    No rocket's now, will compete with the Saturn 5, it was unique, never to come again.

    Where are they going exactly?

    First couple of years of MTV if you can remember ? Update: I had no clue how dumb, stupid, and wasteful it would be to try to get human beings from Earth to walk on Mars …

    Déjà-vu‽
