Just because it is a LIVE video feed doesn't make it any less cool or awesome. You, thefacts, should lighten up. It is a great fanciful artistic project and shows that not everyone takes life so seriously...

#12 got it right, it is a video, you stupid shites! A sucker is born every minute. The 'cool' and 'awesome' resposes reveal the IQ of the average commenter on this blog.

HRM King Edward and President Teddy Roosevelt were on hand to inaugurate this mechanical marvel. Pure steampunk, I love it. Can't wait to see it.

I'm guessing this is simply a live video feed. you can see the camera inside the 'scope' in picture 5.
