Amazing views, especially for live! I don't think we've ever seen reentry plasma on a live stream before.

PS, does anyone know how to get a direct link to a twitter video? I used to be able to through nitter, but that shut down. I can't figure out how to get twitter videos on lemmy directly now.

I right clicked on the video and copied the video link using firefox. I then used yt-dlp to download it. And yes, that was some amazing video today. Really makes you think about how things will be way in the future and if they will look back on this and chuckle about how we thought this was so amazing.

Thanks! I wasn't able to do it on desktop for some reason, but it worked on mobile.

That link isn't working for me btw. And when I right clicked and did copy video it didn't give a format that could be linked on lemmy, at least to put the video in directly. And SJW seems to be out of immigur uploads right now, it wouldn't upload a video or gif.

So the link didn't work for me either, but when I went back to spacex.com and clicked on Learn more, and then on the video they have, it started playing. I right clicked and clicked on Copy video address, and got the exact same link I posted. Not sure what's going on other than they might be blocking it if you don't click to it from their website.
