SpaceX does an excellent job at videography. Sad that Nasa flew its Artemis mission with potato cameras.

SpaceX probably spends a lot of money on marketing/public relations creating great media. I'm guessing NASA's on a shoestring budget for that kind of thing.

  • SLS was far from a shoestring budget and both NASA and Boeing/Northrop/etc have equally strong incentive to provide solid coverage for the public to keep the jobs program going.

    SpaceX has much better infrastructure for video with their satellites and are just generally more competent at production

  • One of SpaceX’s founding reasons was to promote STEM and they continue to do that with their video productions.

Hey, we have everyone watching, our funding might in part depend on interest and awe…

Not just space-potatoes… but missed the separation shot on the live feed. How in the hell!?
