MarkSetBot

@jeremynow @SpaceX You got this right. Elon said the video "was taken from a camera bolted to a Starlink terminal sitting in a kiddie pool," AKA @MarkSetBot.

So how did @SpaceX get those amazing shots of the Starship landing in the middle of the Indian Ocean? A company called MarkSetBot makes a robotic bouy used for marking sailboat race courses. Controlled by an app, they can be setup to keep station (stay in one GPS location). Starship used their racing marker to stay put while it videoed the landing. Why not use a regular bouy and an anchor? The ocean is 5 miles deep there. So that wouldn’t work. @DJSnM (tagging him now he has more spare time hehe)

@sprinklerpope @jeremynow @SpaceX Dude, it's little floaty bot cameras all the way down.

@Proaxel65 @jeremynow @sprinklerpope @SpaceX Two options. From a @MarkSetBot or from a ship in the vicinity.

@jeremynow @sprinklerpope @SpaceX Where would the drone be launched from? Is there a ship nearby?

@sprinklerpope @jeremynow @SpaceX Seems obvious, more than one @MarkSetBot is on station for a splash down. (They get lonely when sent out by themselves.)

@jeremynow @SpaceX Ok, but what the hell was this shot taken from??? Did they have a long pole mounted to one of those?

@elonmusk Looks light a mighty fine kiddie pool... 😉

The Starship landing video in the Indian Ocean was taken from a camera bolted to a Starlink terminal sitting in a kiddie pool 😂
