What actually happened when the launch button was pressed ... surprising !

Was that button in the launch video actually connected to anything or was it just a symbolic act? I was curious about this and after a bit of investigation, managed to wangle extended footage which illustrates the pretty stunning automation capabilities of the FD team who wield immense power with one click.

For anyone interested in that whole process - please enjoy:

I felt a great disturbance in the industry, as if millions of Star Citizen fans cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
