01:09Oh, my goodness.
01:11Yeah.
01:11Yeah, this camera here, this is one of our secondary tracking cameras.
01:16It's not particularly amazing at night, so I apologize I didn't have the exposure right
01:21for this, but that just gives you the idea of how bright this was.
01:26For the producers in the background, if you haven't already, the KSC-02 that was pointed
01:33at the VAB...
01:34Oh, there's Fleet Cam's pointed to it, by the way.
01:35Oh, my goodness.
01:36Look at that from Fleet Cam.
01:37You can still see it.
01:39Yeah.
01:40But, anyway, from KSC-02...
01:43Oh, he's on it.

02:07Whoa!
02:08It's like Oppenheimer.
02:10It's literally the scene from Oppenheimer.
02:13Wow.
02:14I mean, this is...
02:16I mean, as cool of a shot this is, this is still, I want to be clear, very unfortunate
02:21that this happened in order for everything to work perfectly.
02:27And it only takes one thing.
02:29Yeah, look at our 39A camera.
02:31Yeah, there was already lightning and low cloud cover over there with rain and a phase
