That was actually the lamest space mission live stream I have ever seen.
It switched between a virtual rendering of the mission ( think game ) and a group of people watching the same simulation. Not once was there actual camera footage ever.
When things went south, the simulation was halted of course. I guess the programmers didn't account for that eventuality.
I mean, an explosion would have been nice ...
- rbanffy 3y agoAt least a banner with a red diagonal pattern and large letters saying "TELEMETRY LOSS" or something equally dramatic and spectacular we came to expect from movies. I know every gram of extra mass has to justify being there, and that bandwidth is an expensive commodity, but, for an experimental vehicle (and every version 1 is experimental) I would really like to have a couple down-facing and side-facing wide-angle cameras streaming the descent. Having that, even a manual override is possible (2-second lag is a pain, but better than having no good idea of what happened and a lost vehicle with a payload).
