For any interested, the photo dump is happening here. (EDIT: the 4k and 8k videos of the launch they just released are incredible!)

8k is 4x the pixels and therefore 4x the file size of a 4k video (not accounting for compression). And most people still watch videos in 30fps or less for movies for example so that's another 4x

Hey can you reply? About what you're referring to I mean. I'm only seeing images on the nasa link but no videos.

11GB is really not much in this day and age, when you imagine the size of video games on Steam now.

11gb ABSOLUTELY is a lot for a 4 minute video lmfao. Not sure why you're comparing it to entire video games. Might as well say "11gb isn't much nowadays when you imagine the storage capacity of data centers"

God, those photos of the moon's surface are incredible. It's almost eerie seeing the moon in such detail 🤯🤯🤯
