@dang: can you please fix the link? It's supposed to be https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1dRKZEWQvrXxB

Maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJRzQsLZGg (NASASpaceflight) would be better, as it's accessible without any login-wall and doesn't require creating an account to view.

Please. We (everyone I know) hates the login requirement. Switch to YouTube or whatever (https://invidious.io.lol/watch?v=mhJRzQsLZGg) and make it a 0-hassle, 1-click affair.

That’s third-party/unofficial (and unaffiliated with NASA, despite the name) coverage. AFAIK they do not have access to all the cameras/drones/animations that the “real” SpaceX coverage does.

Isn't it better that there is any feeds, than none? The Twitter/X link is not accessible for people outside the platform...

A picture of the flight path https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi... (taken from this website: https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2023/11/new-starship-launch... ) ____ In animation form: https://twitter.com/spencertetik/status/1725769578544803975

Thanks. Cool to see the whole path.

There's a direct media stream that VLC can open (with network stream):

Much better quality, slightly better latency. Seems like it comes from the Periscope transcoding infrastructure. Found it on reddit here: https://old.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/17uyblj/rspacex_int...

Stayed up all night looking forward to this. Fingers crossed for success on hotstaging - I think that's what everyone is most worried about. I read that due to the continuous thrust with hotstaging they can carry more payload with that design, rather than losing upward momentum during stage separation.

Gosh this is exciting.

Oblig, I can't wait until these are happening every day!!

That seems to work perfectly fine and the ideal submission link then, straight from the source and no login required.
