No actual video of the landing?

Camera crews probably got held up in traffic.

This seems phony as hell.

Please specify your qualifications, competence, and expertise to make that judgment.

I could have thrown in my Olympus D-490 2.1 mega pixel camera (circa 2000) for free. Better than nothing.

just watching the Jep Propulsion Laboratory people laughing and acting like they were taking selfies for Facebook during the descent portion. Also a hipster wearing a derby hat as a technician at the JPL? WTH?
