If only the Live Stream had looked anything like that.

They need to do better.

I waited 54 years for us to go beyond low-Earth orbit. My whole life, I grew up hearing how great the Moon was and how great NASA was. I defended NASA every time someone said we should defund them. It’s 2026 — 54 years later — we’re finally going back to the Moon, and they’re using a f-cking GoPro.

They need to do better.

@janeq @RichardNairn

Seriously. NASA keeps claiming the images are less than ideal due to a lack of data. They’re also using a GoPro camera.

1) Having additional data links would have been helpful. Redundancy would be better.

2) You’re NASA — you could have done better than a GoPro.

Food for thought for Artemis III in the future.

@RichardNairn

NASA needs more than one data link.

Redundancy could be beneficial. Not only would having more than one data link improve broadcasting to the world, but if something were to happen to the primary link, there would be another to fall back on.

I truly believe we can broadcast from the Moon better than we did in 1972, 54 years ago.

Speaking personally, I was born in 1981 — nine years after NASA last went to the Moon. I grew up hearing about it everywhere: in school, in the media, and from people who had actually seen it happen — long before I existed.

It’s 2026. Fifty-four years have passed since NASA ventured beyond low-Earth orbit, and the live 4K stream looks no better than the upscaled 1972 footage. It’s a huge letdown.

Artemis III has to be better.

It seems NASA is having a hard time focusing on the moon, because now the moon looks further away and small than it did before. Yet, supposedly, we're getting closer.

The 4k Stream still looks no better than an upscale from the 1972.

#Nasa #Artemis #Moon

I am watching a LIVE feed of Artemis II in 4k resolution and the moon looks as dark and fuzzy as an upscale video from 1972 when we last went to the moon.

NASA needs a better camera. It has been 54 years --- We can do better than this.

As I said, the Fediverse has the same problem that forum communities had.

It is the same type of person who would run many communities and attempt to control the narrative over all of them. So if you were to leave and try to escape that madness, you’d likely unknowingly stumble upon one of theirs, all while being suppressed across many communities.

And, of course, the users within their ecosystem, numbering in the thousands, are completely unaware, since it happens low-key.

IN before this account is hidden from Jerry's site.

Wait for it. It will happen.

@mrmasterkeyboard
Jerry is someone who abuse their admin role. If they don’t like you, instead of blocking you personally, they block you from 11,000 users on their site. Those people are unaware that Jerry is controlling who they can and cannot interact with. As a result, someone you follow mysteriously vanishes, and you’re not likely to notice, since 3, or 4 people missing out of the 100+ you follow goes unnoticed.

Fedi has the same problem as forums: often, the wrong type of people run them

@stux

Check their TOS (terms of services). You will see they cite only two countries: Switzerland and the United States.

They fall under U.S. Justification, but their TOS tries to claim they're primarily Switzerland.

@stux

I would avoid Proton since they're in the USA, but overall, I would agree with your message.
