Oppose – Visual information not readily intelligible to general readers/viewers, and 25 min. is too long for a TFP. – Sca (talk) 14:15, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see how length plays a factor for POTD, it only matters about sourcing of the blurb. (Coming from someone who schedules mostly featured media) Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 01:08, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - BTW main-page (POTD, TFP) is not a FP criterion. What goes or doesn't go on the main-page is sorted out by main-page contributors. Featured contents have their own criteria, and main-page considerations isn't a featured content criterion. Bammesk (talk) 17:37, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – per Sca. --Janke | Talk 14:49, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support – There's stuff I like here and stuff I don't. The EV is excellent; I've never seen an unbroken recording of a complete descent from space before. The fire trail during the initial atmospheric entry is phenomenal. But there's a lot of footage that's just banging sounds and visual glare. I get that this was probably the best video possible under these conditions, so that isn't enough to kill my support, but I doubt anyone is actually going to sit through the whole thing is wonderment. That said, I do still support the uncut video for EV purposes, and the argument that it's too long doesn't seem fair to me, given the number of feature-length films we've promoted.

The banging sounds are trajectory controls. (per the first few seconds of video caption, also: [1]) Bammesk (talk) 02:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I caught that. I don't have a problem with them; what I meant was that the video is underwhelming in the portions when that's all that's happening. Moonreach (talk) 15:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Good EV in the Atmospheric entry article. I like it all, the sounds, glares, parachutes, etc. The fact that it's uncut and in real time adds to its EV, and that it takes only 25 minutes to go through the entire journey. (It's a nice ride, but I settle for the video!) Bammesk (talk) 02:31, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
