I've seen it on TV and the like, but the real thing must have been something to behold …
In 1960, trudging back to Liverpool from Brownsville, Texas (now there's a place) on Brocks 'Marwarri' at night, saw a rocket test launch from Cape Canaveral. I think it was a Jupiter ICBM. Recall watching the first stage burn up. It landed somewhere in South Atlantic.
