I know, Phate wishes he had one.

yeah, how dare they not have a camera that can see objects over 200 miles away.
That poor CGI is in fact real time telemetry.

I know it is real time data but lets face it, it isn't as amazing as a live video feed, it is like playing with google earth!

They should have invested in a small video camera for the rocket and payload!

They have

lol

Drat. I was up, and forgot. I'm getting slack at this stuff. Going to have to go for the replays I guess. :'(

Glad it got gone though.

PS - NASA do have cameras that can see objects a lot of miles away. I've stood next to one of them (but neglected to take a photo).

I only remembered just before eleven. The replays are on now.
