Booster ignition... And liftoff! Blah blah...in the original video it goes blank. Another video shows a Florida man sitting on a lawn chair. Then they switch back and the rocket has already cleared the launchpad. Blah blah traveling at more than 1200 miles per hour.... Let's now cut to a large black cloud.... And we're back to the rocket, but could someone please get all the ants loaded in my pants I can't shake the camera properly like a super 8!

I mean have you ever tried filming an explosion from less than 100 metres? If you don't understand it or disagree with it just articulate that instead of condescending the whole thing. Just makes you look bad.

All I'm saying is that someone screwed up. Its not 1998. We're in 2026. Someone should have had the warewith of thinking about when the cameras were going to cut, how much vibration they would see, etc. This is not our first rodeo. At 100m you would be well cooked. But they should have picked a good spot and used an actual tracking camera.
