How come even after the clear failure the commentators are still reporting everything is nominal? They one talking over the Russian guy seemed to be stuttering abit tho after failure adn the video cut shortly after. Seems abit pointless trying to cover up what we clearly know was a failure

They are just reading scripts per a timeline. No intent on a cover up, they were just clueless
