Mods, any chance you can give a boost to the launch coverage that is NOT from TC, but from a bit more relevant and notable source?
Here's one from Ars, which had an excellent space coverage for ages - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23364529

It's always worth changing the URL to a better source, though, so maybe we'll use your URL on that one. Edit: it doesn't seem particularly substantive to me either. So far I haven't seen an article that seems good enough to swap out the main URL at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23361987, even though that livestream is past its best-before date.
The live stream video should indeed be THE main thread for the event, no argument there. It was just jarring to see it mid-page and the TC thread sitting at the first spot.
I hear you about TC and will pay a bit more attention to that in the future, but really we judge this by article quality rather than site quality (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...), so your best bet is always to propose a significantly better, specific article. I'd have been happy to use the AT one instead, but it has other problems: its first half is a photo collection, which is ok in principle but raises other issues which I can explain if anyone cares; and its second half swerves sharply into a political direction that would likely act as flamebait here.
