whoa, I had no idea that those launches could make so much "daylight" when done during the night.

Part of the 'daylight' here was the reflection against the clouds.... if you were to look down on the ground from above on a clear night... you'd see plenty of 'daylight' on the ground it self

Yes, I think this belongs in 'American muscle'

American Muscle may be correct - but for sure not in the subgroup "Dedicated Car Sections" ...

LMAO at all above posts.

Definately does not belong in the "Car" section, but it is truly "American Muscle!"

Where I live, I'm about 5 miles from the actual test bed (Pratt & Whitney) where they test the engines that go into stuff like this. I'll see if I can't get some pictures someday.
