A Kickstarter to improve spacex video retransmission

1 pointjoss823 comments

Let's start a Kickstarter to improve the video quality for spacex launches.

It could be anything: From providing reliable satellite feed to launching a small rocket-mounted camera preceding the rocket in the firsts instants of the launch.

That would greatly enhance the fun factor of the videos and make more people interested in space again.

And that's a Good Thing, right?

Who's in?

There is a -100% probability that they will authorize someone else to launch a small camera rocket preceding the main rocket.

There is already a big exclusion zone for planes. If a screw or nut fall from the leading rocket and hit the main rocket, it's a recipe for a disaster. And ...

Any other idea, then? Maybe a powerful propeller drone with a good climbing speed?

Otherwise a super good tele-lens with tracking capabilities?
