Nah - they will just say it's a fish-eye lens or CGI or whatever is flavour of the month in Woo-Woo Land.

They are so ridiculous that I won't waste my time.

Moon landing was fake.
The holocaust never happened.
Dinosaur are fake.

booster in kind of an aircraft, a rocket powered one

That was pretty cool.

Iridium was named after the Greek goddess "Iris" who was the messenger of the gods.

There’s a decent SpaceX documentary on Netflix, popcorn time and cafe movie- to name a few, that covers why SpaceX is doing what they are doing, how close they came to losing everything and haulting the rocket programs.
It’s a good intro for anyone new or perhaps unfamiliar with the tribulations of SpaceX.
I recommend it.

On topic today’s launch was another step towards creating a solid foundation for space travel.
In the documentary it states that if we want to be able to afford space travel, reusing rockets is fundamental in that advancement.
If 1 rocket can be reused 1000 times, it cuts the costs associated with getting to space, down to $60,000.
Pretty interesting info.

Space-X launch 2/21/2019 - Nusantara Indonesian Satellite, USAF lab mini sat and Israeli moon lander. At around T+ 33:02

I count around seven? objects moving rapidly from right to left on the screen, till 33:09, behind the second stage rocket nozzle. The shot quickly breaks away, when someone in the net livestream production center wakes up.
Jettisoning garbage sacks early in the flight?

Does Space X use bead insulation? or can there be frozen crystals leaking from the rocket?
Vid at when objects show up.
