Original Note:
The black, bi-conical Mercury capsule featured in the video had its last flight in 1963, more than 4 years before the invention of LCD displays. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mercury https://www.merckgroup.com/en/expertise/displays/solutions/liquid-crystals/history-of-lcd-displays.html#:~:text=Liquid%20crystals%20play%20in%20many,new%20generation%20of%20technical%20devices. Therefore, it cannot have been faked with flatscreen panels as the video suggests.
