Everything nowadays comes packaged with excessive emote track. People in the internet don't enjoy rocket launch with roaring sounds unless there is laugh track over it that validates that the launch is awesome and simulates social connection.

You don't say. SpaceX used to have "technical" launch streams with just launch status updates, but even they no longer do that :-/

  Didnt they get caught when a launch went badly but their narrator keep reading from the script, reporting events that clearly were not happening? I would watch a technical stream, but i can read a canned script myself.

    No, that never happened.

      There was an F9 loss early in the program where the presenter was overcome by emotion. I would love to find an archive of all the launches including that one.

      I distinctly recall that occurring. The event was 28 January 1986, and whilst I didn't watch it live, I did catch it within a few hours. Though that wasn't a SpaceX launch. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disas...> The launch broadcast narration continued for several seconds following the vehicle explosion reporting either telemetry or programmed flight path information before breaking script with the infamous announcement "There's obviously been a major malfunction". Various reports I've seen are that the previous commentary was based on telemetry rather than watching video.

    Unintentional remedy: with Starlink now giving them HD video coverage for the whole flight, I doubt they would be able to do this convincingly anymore. (Assuming they ever did. I do not know about any such launch)

Is there a footage without the hysterical screeching?

Worst part of any SpaceX live stream.

Yeah that excessive cheering and laughing really diminished it for me. Everything apparently needs an added hype team/track. What a world we live in.

  Most news stories on tv are presented as being "Breaking News!" It's absolutely bonkers some of the things they'll push that way.

  Its a feed of the Blue Origin staff, who have been working towards this for years and years - makes sense that they would be pretty excited considering the level of success this was. You dont have to consider everything you dont like to be a negative on the world

Those are the real emotions of the people at Blue Origin watching the launch. They've been working toward this moment for 24 years. Should they censor themselves because their "excessive" emotions offend you? Or maybe they should hire newscasters to do an disinterested presentation up to your standards, instead of employees who actually worked on it?

  But you hear no crying or shouting during e.g. Moon landing [1]. TBH I expect "disinterested" behavior from professionals in such situations. [1] https://youtu.be/xc1SzgGhMKc https://youtu.be/xc1SzgGhMKc

    That's not a video of live broadcast TV coverage. It's a recording of the operational communcations (which you could hear in the BO livestream and it didn't have crying or shouting). Actual TV broadcasts at the time did show some actual emotions including laughter and possibly even tears, despite being from professional newscasters rather than employees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMF58ZP681A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMF58ZP681A

SpaceX started it. NASA launches before it didn't have any of it.

  All of them can't shut up and just let us watch the launch without listening to their bs like "...aand lift off for Orion space mission off Cape Canaveral which is a huge leap for humanity"
