it's impossible to play that in slow motion, that was one big explosion 
The people recording that video were far too close.

Not sure what is considered a safe zone but the video above would be around 1.5 miles out from the 7 second delay.

Good analysis by Scott Manley.
Docking in one.
Gets more difficult as you get close the fine control suddenly seems violent
Yeah, it's not a tricky simulator. Centre it first then move forward.
Sky is getting darker around the Cape. It's an instantaneous launch window at 8:22pm here.
It's purely a pressure suit. If anything goes wrong they get popped off the top by the SuperDraco engines. They look flimsy as they're custom made for each astronaut, so it's form fitting rather than the traditional small, medium or large.

It's the armed MRAP that gets me, they're in one of the most secure locations on the planet and they have a MRAP with a .50 turret following them.
Customised Tesla model X's with suit support equipment built in. Certainly better than the old bus they used to use. With the falcon doors, easy for them get in and out of in their suits. More importantly, blasting out some tunes on the way to pad 39A.
70:30 go for launch. 10% chance of local lightning...
