Onboard rocketcam Video durin' t' first launch o' t' Lockheed Martin Atlas III in May 2000. This is a view outside t' rocket, ya bilge rat, lookin' down on t' launch pad as t' Atlas first stage rocket engine ignites and t' rocket takes off. Well, blow me down! As it ascends, shiver me timbers, you see t' flame o' t' first stage changin' shape and color as t' atmospheric pressure lowers with t' site o' t' Cape Canaveral range recedin' into t' distance.
