This in particular warmed my grumpy heart after the best footage of the launch came from a commercial airliners windows.

I had assumed they would've had a better plan to film the entire departure from orbit yesterday.

I'm at least happy they have one for the loop around the moon.

I think the actual best footage of the launch was from Everyday Astronaut on youtube, including a great shot of the booster separation

> never-before-seen views of “the far side of the Moon“

I guess not counting all the prior "views" that have been recorded since the Apollo missions, including Chinese orbiters which (according to Wikipedia) "scanned the entire Moon in unprecedented detail, generating a high definition 3D map that would provide a reference for future soft landings"
