FLIGHT LAPSE - You can tell it’s real, because it looks so real.

“You can tell it’s real, because it looks so fake,“ Elon Musk said in reference to the SpaceX Starman launch video. Whoops. Elon unintentionally admitted just how fake it really looked - - - - - because it was fake. He saw the exact same video feed as the rest of us did, so no, he doesn’t have to be in on it. Quality video should be one of NASA’s and SpaceX’s top priorities. Unfortunately though, they go out of their way to give us low quality video for just about everything. This is a flight lapse I captured and I find the quality to be better than the majority of NASA’s content which is really disappointing. It doesn’t take much to capture quality stuff like this. How can you tell this is real? Because it looks so real. This video with shot with a GoPro on a stabilizer suction cupped to the window of the plane. 30fps, reinterpreted at 60fps, played back at 200% speed. This video is 4X faster than real time.
