Why it works
The opening turns a launch into a costly question by 0:53, then promises the mechanism and competitive context at 0:59. Real footage and documents establish evidence before animated cutaways explain the hardware at 2:42; a globe-scale two-route example begins at 5:15. Within the measured excerpt, replay peaks at 1:53–2:02 and 2:40–2:49 align with documentary proof and the component diagram.
