Couldn't NASA have put a little of its giant budget into a presentation that's more appealing than a Wordpress blogpost? I don't think it would just be sugarcoating. Millions of people are passionate about space and billions were around the first moon landing. SpaceX has done a great job reviving this space age excitement with their pre launch interviews, life coverage and analysis. NASA could easily have done the same by directing 0.0001% of their funding to this aspect, but for some reason chose not to.

NASA Livestream was pretty well put together

  And far more educational than the typical SpaceX streams.

I'm not sure if we were watching the same livestream, but the official launch livestream was incredibly high-budget and high production values. Felt like you were watching a trailer for Top Gun or Interstellar. It's really funny to me that SpaceX fanboys can't set aside their polemics against SLS for five seconds despite a pitch-perfect launch while Starship fumbles about with inordinate delays and cost overruns -- the exact same thing SLS is most criticized for.

Yea the whole magenta-orange theme is extremely cliche and does not sit with the legendary worm logo. Looks like a cheap SaaS startup presentation. NASA needs a better brand management team with swift authority to demand sub teams to abide by the identity standards.

What was wrong with the interviews that NASA did? Some of the celeb stuff didn't do it for me, but know it probably does for some people. And it was neat that they talked to so many Apollo people. I also thought it was cool that they brought the red team in for an interview shortly after launch. That's not really something they could've planned in advance, but it was super entertaining.

  Red Team makes the rocket run on time. Loved that they brought them out.
