threegee Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Original Source: http://gizmodo.com/5...want-to-bite-itLooks like someone forgot to remove the jumper leads! 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.

Monsta® Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 why do these rockets always look rusty? can they not afford the paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threegee Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
