Last night I watched a Spacex video of their so called 'Falcon Heavy Rocket'.

During the production there is even canned applause, the construction near the rocket engine looks like it is made from wine cask bladders - seriously!

Apparently some actually believe that this stuff is real - check out the bits below, it is just unbelievable on every level.

At the 41:58 minute mark you have bits of fluff flying past and getting stuck on the studio rocket. They want to pretend that it is travelling in excess of 26500 Kmh (see bottom left of screen for speed)

At 42:51 you see the fluff come off the engine and actually head forwards when it is supposed to be travelling at 26600 Kmh.

At 43:50 a large bit of fluff gets stuck on the rocket engine at 26583 Kmh.

At 44:34 a bit of fluff floats off into the obvious studio setting at 26572 Kmh.

Commentator later tries to brush of the fluff as being solid oxygen, says it comes from a liquid oxygen line and that this is normal - you can't make this up, this is supposed to be the vacuum of space, and stuff is clinging to the engine at over 26500 Kmh

Then at 51:06 they are in the swimming pool for the separation of the cargo - you can tell because of the air bubbles - just like the ones you see in so many NASA videos.

not sure why the vid is not showing

how did they get the clear and steady shot at 17:16?
