Why have they cut away from the action inside? That's really disappointing

"To Scooter: This activity is dedicated to the studying of tiny screws in space." - Simpsons homage! 
Nice catch! There's quite a bit of banter going on. Helps relieve tension I guess!
For sure! Was that the "Deep Space Homer" episode? That quote will make the next article revision for sure! (Something Joe Public will like).

Yeah, that was from Deep Space Homer. Not a word for word quote, but close enough that you knew the intent.
A quick search turned up this from the script:
Tom: It's a lovely day for a launch, here, live at Cape Canaveral, at
the lower end of the Florida Peninsula, and the purpose of
today's mission is truly, really electrifying.
Man 2: That's correct, Tom. The lion's share of this flight will be
devoted to the study of the effects of weightlessness on tiny
screws.
Tom: Unbelievable, and just imagine the logistics of weightlessness.
And of course, this could have literally millions of applications
here on Earth -- everything from watchmaking to watch repair.

Thanks! Pretty sure it was an intentional homage.
