Onboard cameras look to be about 360p, probably weigh 10x as much as a modern HD camera.

What a great launch! It's truly amazing that we can be in the comfort of our homes and see a spacecraft move off of earth into space. What a time to be alive!
That being said, watching this launch made me appreciate SpaceX's care in keeping us viewers informed with great audio, video, flight timeline graphics, and commentary. Keep it up Elon. We appreciate it.

I have never witnessed a rocket accelerate that rapidly...

Impressive, NASA has made a silent rocket

no, this sucker is electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need.

As soon as rocket went horizontal to go out to sea they switch the camera to a outerspace cgi view. The rocket was still in view from the ground when they cut the video feed to show their cartoon.. what a hoax people
