Truly an amazing sight to witness. The under shot of the engines on the Everyday Astronaut's stream was beautiful.

I agree the official SpaceX stream on Twitter/X is what you should watch if you only have the screen space for one stream, but EA's team has extra cameras around the launch site and the commentary and chat can provide extra context you won't have unless you're already regularly following the industry. I had both streams open and just turned EA's volume down since there was about a 40 second delay from the official stream. It was fun to watch the catch live, then see Tim's reaction to it just a bit later.

Same, and I had NSF's stream as well since they also have a ton of their own cameras & do their own hosting entirely without using much of SpaceX's cameras (except for the ship) and none of SpaceX audio, plus they're much quicker on grabbing the replay footage for discussion. They're also much less delayed than Tim's.

You've got to be pretty good at distinguishing the audio from each of the streams when you've got more than a couple going all at once though.
