Well they finally got this thing off the pad , into low earth orbit and successfully completed the TLI burn for the Moon
I certainly had my doubts
8.9 million pounds of thrust looked amazing, even being a night launch
I have to agree TV coverage was a 6/10 , probably due to being an unmanned mission. Manned missions will have so many more cameras on board and around the vehicles
Space X have much better TV coverage even on their prototypes

Hopefully the views from Lunar orbit at the end of this week will be incredible 4K live stream , especially for the younger generation who missed the days of Apollo

Now it’s Space X turn to get their behemoth Starship into orbit and at nearly 16 million pounds of thrust what a spectacle that will be for all to watch
