CGI was fine but it was annoying they didn't consistently broadcast the numbers and just switching to various individual views. At the time of touchdown they showed a barren CGI and modi on a 40% background. Could have atleast showed the three metrics at a corner.

Agree 100% 👍 Modi ruined the final moments for me. Wish there was a separate stream with just the telemetry. But this telecast was way better than it used to be. Also noticed millions of people left the YouTube stream once Modi started speaking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmm. The two streams I was interested on where the velocity and elevation metric and the live camera feed from lander. They simply didn't show them after approx 300mtrs ofs ground and went to the speech. Was such a let off given how hyped I was. Just walked away.

Lol who gives a shit about CGI. It was basically for all regulars so that they can understand how the landing is happening in real time.

Actually the fact that it's shitty helps with credibility because it doesn't enable dumbass Moon landing deniers
