1 Igniter...

2 Igniters...

And Keven's Mini-Mag roars off the pad!

As a contrast, Rob's launch on a D12 is far more stately

And a hacked Trailblazer on an E blackpowder

A Fat Boy on an E

The Thugg returns

As the sky starts to darken, White Lightnings become even more impressive

BlackJack motors

And night is welcomed with a roar!

And it is so still that the exhaust cloud lingered for nearly 10 minutes.

As it got darker, the camera's ability to respond gets worse - but you can still see the pre-liftoff plume forming in this shot.
