I wonder what the views will be for this historic event vs say an NBA basketball game or a generic reality tv show?

  I wonder what fraction of viewers are muted.

Excited to see the results, but this video production is ROUGH. This presentation is a disaster... The cameraman isn't even using a gimbal so it wobbles like a 90s AFV video. They haven't been able to make any of the offsite video work. You can hear the production staff debugging in the background lol... At 24 minutes in they finally got an offsite video working, but they couldn't cut out the transition music while the presenters were talking... Their stream is hitching every 3-4 seconds... Looks like a high school project compared to a SpaceX presentation. (not a Elon fan, just 'marketing' science is important to me, we need people excited)

  Honestly and with all due respect they could just release the images, etc. with some text with a video explainer to follow. The hype machine is broken and taking away from the actual awesomeness of the project.

NASA needs to get taught on how to do live streams in 2022. For such a long-awaited presentation from one of the biggest space agencies in the world the quality of the live stream is terrible. Low video quality (720p highest), constant lag, microphone issues (wrong microphone open leading to NASA-ASMR) and failing connections to external locations. I wish they put more effort into this. It deserves it!

This hour-long rollout is just terrible. They are effectively just needlessly interfering with the day of several million people at work.

Honestly, I’m happy and disappointed at the same time. NASA has lost the plot with space exploration. They haven’t moved manufacturing efficiency or payload mass by any meaningful margin in decades. We could have had 10 or more JWSTs up there by now for the cost of the overruns and total cost of salaries and overhead. I’d like them to be a lot more introspective than they are at present. Like, “Yeah, these images are cool, but we could have done a much better job if we had better project management to stick to a budget”

Any chance anyone knows where to find the playlist of songs used in the video? Update: Sent NASA an email. I'll post here if I get a response. ^_^
