30 seconds into launch, over 3 miles altitude. Note the tight exhaust trail.


40 seconds later, rocket has gone 17 miles higher - over 20 miles in altitude. Serious fire from the rockets - no doubt, no dull redish reflection appearing briefly then disappearing.

And finally, three minutes after launch, extreme zoom sees the fire end of the rockets disappearing, traveling over 2,600 miles per hour.
