    I found it interesting that the flame is lifting off the nozzles the way it does, we wouldn't want to see that in our boiler I don't think. Conjecture is that the exiting fuel keeps the shrouds cool so they don't burn up. I always wondered how that seemingly thin skin managed to survive the heat. I also like the pressure wave that develops later, from what I'm beig told that occurs as the rocket goes from sub-sonic into sonic speed.
