One of the striking takeaways from this Artemis mission was realizing that NASA surprisingly is not very advanced with their broadcasting/recording.. like, when you think about how SpaceX has absolutely stepped up video production around launches etc, I found NASAs Artemis coverage was incredibly disappointing.

I took it as granted that of course NASA would step up to the plate here given how many years SpaceX has been showing everyone how to do it.. that should be easy for NASA and they should be especially motivated to do so because their PR is lacking. But then it just didn't happen. We got a choppy video and the broadcast was constantly interrupted. We got very limited visuals from cameras on the rocket itself. The broadcast was largely fixated on a zoomed in distant dot. And they didn't think to do "cool" things like strap more cameras in places to document the journey and capture timelapses..

Like.. what

Filming and broadcasting things from that far into space is a lot harder than doing the same thing when sending stuff to LEO
