Hopefully, the footage is better than the missed pan up at lift-off, and showing spectators at the time of booster separation.<p>I understand funding cuts and all, but this is a once-in-a-generation moment and it’s filmed with no apparent effort whatsoever.

&gt; never-before-seen views of “the far side of the Moon“<p>I guess not counting all the prior &quot;views&quot; that have been recorded since the Apollo missions, including Chinese orbiters which (according to Wikipedia) &quot;scanned the entire Moon in unprecedented detail, generating a high definition 3D map that would provide a reference for future soft landings&quot;

This in particular warmed my grumpy heart after the best footage of the launch came from a commercial airliners windows.<p>I had assumed they would&#x27;ve had a better plan to film the entire departure from orbit yesterday.<p>I&#x27;m at least happy they have one for the loop around the moon.

Why does the article keep mentioning footage “from the surface of the moon”?

How does laser communication work with a moving object with 9DoF?!

A reminder that the illegal DOGE took a chainsaw to NASA personnel last year. If you&#x27;re disappointed that the feed update wasn&#x27;t as polished as a SpaceX launch it&#x27;s because the later has an actual communications and marketing department with a budget.
