Looks like someone forgot to remove the jumper leads! :D

If this is the new rocket could it have a much higher velocity exhaust? Those columns of hot gas look much more compact than I remember from previous US rocket launches.

Might just be that it's not a visible light photo but some sort of enhanced IR. That could explain the look of the exhaust gasses too.
