Countdown to when the take off is supposed to happen sorely missing.

It's almost like NASA doesn't realize many people watch these videos.
I like watching behind the sceen stuff, but I also want NASA to come off in the best light.
The video had a production value of a subpar PBS late night video.
NASA has a duty to promote the agency too. There's a PR value to everything, especially when using public money.
(I want to give NASA more funds some days. Other days, I would rather give it to Musk. I'm not sure anymore who will use the money better.)
You can make the same whataboutist argument for why we shouldn't even be on Mars.
