  1. I was in Melbourne, FL during this launch. My uncle was stationed on the AF base there. I toured Canaveral. The power I felt shaking the ground under my feet a mile away was amazing!

  3. I work on the same types of cameras for my employer. We use them for the same thing, but our rocket "only" generates as much thrust as ONE F-5 engine.

    It's interesting to see the ignition sequence start, with all the flames boiling up out of the exhaust duct.

    Then the engines all come up to full power and WHOOSH!, all the stuff gets sucked back down into the exhaust duct.
