Exactly what I came to the comments section to post. Huge pet peeve of mine is "articles" that are just a YouTube video with some redundant commentary underneath that offers zero value beyond the video itself.
Yeah but that’s not the case here though. The commentary is interesting IMO.
In this case, though, I don't mind because Phil Plait is a well known science communicator whose articles actually add useful context. I don't mind that his article is linked (although I did go straight to the video first, but I am not the target audience for the commentary).
The article goes into a great deal of detail about how the video was made, the rocket involved, various points of interest throughout the video, etc... You don't think that adds any value?
