After looking at the picture Jim chose, I can't help but wonder why radio
was originally called wireless!

When watching launch videos, have you ever noticed the popping noises in the roar of the booster? For years I attributed that to acoustic overload of the recording microphone but discovered it has the same sound 'live' after witnessing a launch in person.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that the exhaust plume from the booster is asymetrical. I would've thought it would basically be round, sort of like that of a propane torch.
Also, I wonder why they jettison the payload faring so soon after launch? I would think they'd want it on until the spacecraft leaves orbit and away from the
'ortibiting junkyard'.
