The URL on the „VLC“-links look a lot like „Periscope“ which was acquired by Twitter long ago. Maybe this is actually the official Twitter stream itself?

Whatever the infrastructure spacex is using for the stream, the twitter front end doesn't load for me. That's what I meant. edit: now it loads but it has 10s delay so I'm sticking to VLC

You can watch the stream directly from the spacex.com website.

Now this one isn't loading on my side. And I got gigabit fiber at a major European city close to a big exchange.

VLC stream links hit the spot for me... I was really hoping to see the official stream but twitter is... well... not what it used to be. Anyway thanks!

It is, how to reproduce:

Twitter stream page, F12, network tab, look for m3u8 file, right click, copy url, open in VLC

To be fair the capsule caught fire in a ground test once with three lives lost (Apollo 1) and the command module had an explosion in space once (Apollo 13) with no loss of life but it was a close thing.

I do agree with your larger point though. SpaceX just feels so much less impressive then previous major rockets, and that's only reinforced when they try and celebrate minor milestones like its supposed to be the greatest achievement ever. As if they want a cookie. Blue Origin has the same issue where they want acknowledgement for minor progress. Its only slightly less annoying because they make less of a deal about it, but this problem permeates the new space race/billionaire toys parade.

SpaceX does not stream on YouTube, you are watching an old launch on a fake channel. Please report them.

Is that new? Because SpaceX has streamed launches on YouTube for years.

Musk decided that Twitter is now a video platform and he's decided to dogfeed with SpaceX.
