   What I really like about this is that you can see the fuel being blasted out of the nozzles so fast that it hasn’t even lit yet. The unlit fuel is the bit of black between the boosters and the flames. So rad.

   Yeah exactly, I couldn’t figure out that it was unburned fuel until you just said it. The threshold between the lit and unlit fuel looks like the wavy tentacles you see on infrared video of the sun’s surface.

   Wow… how mesmerizing is it! Certainliy makes me appreciate it’s power more than watching it lift off from a few kilometers away. My favourite part is the start, where you see the ignition of just the fuel then they add the oxygen to the mixture and it sucks the fireballs of buring fuel down into the pit.
