Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
“OK, I see what you mean.
That makes sense if the image is basically a time exposure capturing every event from launch to expiration of the booster(s) of all stages.
You’re asserting, though, that this crazy-a$$ missle’s trajectory, spinning like a top, actually made it into low earth orbit where gravity didn’t deform the perfectly circular spiral swirl resulting when the nozzle locked hard to one side and expended the remainder of its fuel, right?
Seems a miracle that it made it into space, considering the deformation of flight path apparent from lift off onward. Also, there is no downward drift to the background spiral which one would expect if the expelling body was still in motion, either following a sub-orbital trajectory, or falling to earth.’
Hot dang! I was just thinking the SAME thing!!! ;)
