Yes, you're right about optimization, this what I'll do:
- Switch default to 1024p instead of 2048p so file drops from ~30 MB → ~8 MB (4× smaller)
- Proxy through existing Cloudflare Worker with edge cache
- Add a /video/* route that fetches NASA URL once, caches at the edge
- After 1st request per region, every subsequent visitor gets it from Cloudflare PoP
= NASA bandwidth: ~50 hits/day instead of ~10,000! NASA load drops by ~99%
