Yea some animation. Did they run out of money or why there aren't few real time webcams on board?

What for? Also, considering that the sail is supposed to shield it from Sun's light and radiation I don't think the camera would pick up anything else than black... At that point whatever instruments and sensors they have is way more useful to them than a camera

Clearly we could aim an outdated telescope at it and track its movements and how it's proceding.Obviously more fake news like the moon landing and a "round Earth."

Could have a small flashlight that they would turn on for 5ms to take the pic. They would get more public support from people like me if they delivered something else than animations that could be done without shooting anything into space.
