Yes, congratulations to China, you are literally progressing in leaps and bounds. Let's see how Thursday's flight four of SpaceX Starship goes. If America doesn't want its lunar ambitions hobbled by prohibitive launch costs, it should consider ditching Artemis and looking at a plan built around Starship.

[@dogwalker666]

4k for a photo is not high resolution, You are confused by video.

[@rebjorn79]

The original photo, perhaps. Or even higher. But the video resolution is 1080p so that's the highest you'll get with that. Sometimes if pre-processing is done right and one hasn't compressed the footage before uploading (as in, you upload the raw footage or image), the perceived quality will be optimal in comparison to other videos with the same resolution, but it'll still always be maximum 1080p quality.
