Hi Chris,

One can imagine the complex logistics involved in retrieving the bulky film cameras
from the stages in the Apollo era.

And it's not hard to imagine that the cameras on SpaceX are probably not
much bigger than your first, HD, possibly off the shelf and cheap enough compared
to the cost of a mission to just throw away. Plus streamed digitally around the
world in real-time and available to whoever wants to watch (well, except to h0ughy).
