So, in the video, there's footage from mission control. It looks like there's video of the lander... landing? Is that simulated footage spliced in there for some reason?
- th0br0 13y agoIt does say "computer animation" in the audio.
- zrail 13y agoOh! I watched it muted. Derp.
- soneil 13y agoI believe the right-hand image is the feed, the left-hand is simulated. The fact that you grabbed entirely onto the simulation demonstrates exactly why it's there - a photo of a landing leg just isn't compelling. It's China. If they know the world is watching, they'll make sure they put on a show. (not to detract from the accomplishment at all, it's fantastic to see some movement in what's become a very routine business. But there's probably something very HN-relatable here in providing feedback when your user is expecting to see something happen)
