Thanks!!! The telementry data is very helpful. I was bummed the launch didn't include that. Guess I am spoiled by Space X launches.

That bothered me as well. Like, why not include it? Also the timeline was shitty as well, it just jumped from one event to the next instead of giving you some sort of progression and feel when things are going to happen.

They had some problems with their camera feeds during launch. But I agree that they also missed out on telemetry and the quality of coverage lacked in comparison to the other new space companies. I really hope the next launch will have more polish on it… better coverage and telemetry

Interesting to notice that the distance from earth is increasing faster than the distance to the moon is decreasing.

The moon is trying to run away. Understandable, given it's been looking at what we do on earth.

It also has to swing way out in order to turn and catch up with the Moon. Fascinating the trajectory involved with getting it there!

It’s sort of what you are looking for. I believe they put up a diagram from time to time showing prox earth/moon but there isn’t really a way to show exact location.
