Was it just me, or could everybody else only get the official SpaceX YT in a slightly ropey 720 feed.
Would have thought they could afford a higher quality 1080 & 60fps feed?
There was a query elsewhere and it was said they only had the downlink bandwidth to do the live feed in 720p. No idea if that is accurate, but I can imagine they would want a lot more telemetry than usual for this launch.Would have thought they could afford a higher quality 1080 & 60fps feed?

Don’t be such a misery; Its a bit of harmless fun. It’s not a pointless shop dummy either, it’s a crash test dummy loaded with sensors and a microphone to measure sound levels. They used one for the pad abort test 3 years ago and they plan to use Ripley again for the in flight abort test in a few months.
Blue Origin call their test subject Manikin Skywalker.
it’s a mark of the “I” generation........Blue Origin call their test subject Manikin Skywalker.

The problem is, whenever Toaster posts on this topic, it generates a whole raft of follow up posts about Toaster. I fell for this too.
His negative attitude is well known and his posts are fairly predictable and monotonous now.
He's best ignored as he drags the discussion way off topic all the time and it is massively annoying.
Eric it’s spot on topic, you keep saying your not going to engage or comment but yet again lurking trying to assassinate please moderate your comments and give my comment some clear thought. His negative attitude is well known and his posts are fairly predictable and monotonous now.

Don't worry about Toaster - he's all over some of the science threads being a downer on all sorts of threads praising exploration and science discoveries, and the money spent pursuing them.
Erm often it’s considering an alternate perspective and most of the science threads are about rockets and a mere fraction of that is science. Flooble said:

I watched it on The Everyday Astronaut's channel and it actually looked better on his feed than on the official one.

I have only had a passing interest in how spacex have been progressing over the last few years but watched this yesterday. Impressive stuff with the first stage landing. Is the interior of the capsule actually going to look like that?
Yes it does, and that's part of what they are testing in this mission.
