Not to be argumentative, but doesn't this photo demonstrate what Lee is saying?

It looks like a shuttle launch, two big SRB's whose brightness seems to overexpose the image, making the LH/LOX exhaust plume look like a butane cigarette lighter.

Are there any other (Sea level) all LOX-Hydrogen launch photos to compare to?

But then maybe Un Epi De Mais is right about the ablative engine nozzle liners?

    - Maybe the glare from the SRBs washes it out. - Lee - 11/11/2007 9:03:58 PM
