It's impressive because it worked. Nobody would know if it hadn't because the shot wouldn't have been used then. Yeah, that makes it kind a trivial but it's still a good shot because it worked.
What makes this one the "best" is that this shot needed to be done right or it couldn't have been done again for years to come (at least if the launch itself was meant to be somewhat meaningful). A myriad of things could have gone wrong but didn't. Of course it's also easy to see they had some tolerances to work with (turning away from the camera to say "that" while standing motionless to make sped up or dropped frames less obvious if they had been necessary).
It's a lot like videos of trick (ball) shots: if you saw them together with all the ones that didn't work, the ones that did wouldn't really stand out much. But when the stars align and everything just "flows" like it should, that gives many people a fuzzy feeling and that's what this TV shot does. It's like a choreographed dance routine.
