I don't think it's a technical issue, they probably just don't care, we lost a bit of the magic and ideals we had back then

I think the last thing you could probably say about the teams involved in this is that they don’t care.

We must not have seen the same footage, they even had rain drops on the lens, that was an amateur move in the 60s, in 2025 it should be a crime lol

Like, what the fuck is this ? https://imgur.com/6sVSXGd Did they strap an iphone 12 on the launchpad and leave it on auto settings ? The flood light is aimed straight at the lens too...

This is an amateur shot from 5 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/coppj8/a_dramatic_cl...

I'm telling you, they didn't care one bit about that video, it looks like absolute ass

The detailed Apollo shots were not live. The Blue Origin frame is from a live video feed. The ULA picture is a post-processed still photo.
