- cyberferret 10y agoThat first booster separation was ballistically balletically brilliant!
- harlanlewis 10y agoWow, awesome. At about 2min10s.
- hcrisp 10y agoThe kerosene-burning boosters really leave amazingly clear contrails. And the separation ballet is called Korolev's cross.
- david-given 10y agoYou can see yellow fire at the pointy end of the boosters for a moment as they swing round; is that some kind of separation thruster, or is it just that they're dipping into the main vehicle's exhaust stream?
