Faux Launch

To Space

The slowest moving launch….

Notice anything weird in this photo?   No?  Well next time you around some smoke (a campfire, an unattended pork roast, or a nicotine loving friend) try moving your hand through it.

Even at the relatively slow speed you hand moves compared to the mph of a shuttle launch, you’ll push the smoke around.  Now you have to wonder what makes those clouds  so apathetic.

Pretty but fake.  That or someone perfected an ultra thin space elevator.
