Maybe [this video] (NASASpaceflight) would be better, as it's accessible without any login-wall and doesn't require creating an account to view.

The difference with spacex is you can watch the rockets fly. You can also watch them actually build. That's where the goosebumps come from one livecam view, there are many [this video] this guy releases videos about once a week or so [LINK] this aerial photography channel documents bocachica every week or so too. Spacex is absolutely watched from every angle. [LINK]

The claim was that Musk's companies haven't "built" anything. Versions of Starship have clearly been built and launched, even if the project is still in development. It's a very real project and anyone can watch its developmental progress live: [this video] I doubt you or anyone else would bet significant money that Starship won't reach orbit. If so, I'd be happy to accept. For the record, I don't think you can point to any project even remotely equivalent in terms of capability or progress from Boeing, Lockheed, or ULA. I'd be happy if they were doing nearly as well as SpaceX. My other examples: Starlink, Tesla, and Dragon have clearly been "built" and shipped. Starlink is the hands of consumers

There was another view at the pad that had sizable bits of what looked like rock or concrete flying past it, camera went off line when the vehicle had barely left the ground. See the bottom right panel [this video]
