Lucky shot? Or not from planet labs? I wouldn’t be surprised to hear the US has multiple satellites over Norkistan and was willing to release this shot to the public.
You Army types will have to educate me since I’m just a dumb squid but is it normal for a rocket to corkscrew like that before it straightens out? The initial contrails from the rocket look a bit screwy to me. Please advise.
Tim, the smoke/steam from any rocket gets twisted by the winds.
Thanks for the simple but precise explanation Setnaffa.
