Also, with the video capturing tech we have today, this is the best video footage the can come up with? Really?!

Show us with all the video capturing tech you "as the professional in this field have" how this could've been filmed better?

Truth be told, I got you and @Cosmik Debris mixed up. I actually should have tagged him.

Anyway, the data is out just wanted to hear your input. Something about a grain of salt hitting something? Or a Golf cart hitting something else? :D
Always good to double-check, pref. before you post.

You can see the craters on the moon with a normal home telescope...

And?

This thing is smaller than the craters you can see on the moon, much further away than the moon, really badly illuminated by the sun and it’s moving pretty fast.
