Anyone who doubts missile defense can work, check these photos of a space shuttle launch taken from 220 miles up in the ISS. http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=3183
Internet Hoax.
Those photos were NOT taken from the ISS, or any orbital platform.
They were taken from a NASA RB-57 aircraft at an altitude of about 10-12 miles, NOT 220 miles.

Still a 1000 K exhaust plume really stands out aganst a 300 K Earth, and even more so against a 3 K space background.
