yes, with some differences...

The source of the ionization is different, and the density is far higher... but fundamentally the same physics is responsible.

(Again, its just my hunch)

Well since no one else has posted, they are in orbit with a spectacular nighttime launch. (n/t) - Delbert - 12/10/2006 2:11:35 AM

        I think you've got it. - TB - 12/10/2006 10:33:48 PM
        
        Friction effects could play a part too... but it seems (as JimO said) to be dependent on the engines... - R.L. - 12/11/2006 12:30:20 AM
