I was thinking "wait, how could have a view of the curvature this sharp from only 56 miles up? That's what the curvature would look like from about +800 miles up...", and then I noticed that the curvature appeared sharper when the horizon was near the bottom of the frame and flatter, even concave, when it was nearer to the top of the frame. I thought "well maybe this is some kind of wide-angled fish eye camera like a GoPro". And then I realized it was.
So then I was going to take a screenshot of the wide versus flat and ask the people here if they could help explain it, but right when I went to do that the camera malfunction and stopped recording. I thought "how could they spend tens of thousands of dollars building and launching a rocket like this and not even spend more than a few hundred dollars on making sure they had a camera that could record the whole thing?"
I wonder if maybe the project was run by NASA. They always have the same kind of camera problems.

Any thoughts on these anomalies? Or no thoughts?
