Wait a minute. This was taken at night, and they never launch when there are clouds. Soooo, where are the stars?!

This is obviously a hoax, like the moon landings. This must have been shot in miniature on a sound stage, or perhaps Jesus made a model out of Legos, and Photoshopped this pict! I must call Joe Rogan!

@Eauboy: But how do you explain Verner Von Braun going up to Anartica to collect meteorites?

@Ibelieveinsandwitches: You idiot. That's not Big Feet, that's Jackie Onasis. Big Foot can clearly bee seen right atthe base of the launch tower, on the other side of the railing. Everyone knows that Big Feet are impervious to extreme temps due to their hair.

@MakinSense...ForOnce_GitEmSteveDave: The U.S. government was actually involved in blowing this up, it's obvious from the detonations.

@Jake712: Yes, and from what I hear, they found traces of perchlorate, which means it was an explosive! Just like when they found traces of aluminum and iron in the dust of the WTC, which means Thermite and Thermate must have been used. Quick, everyone. Follow the lead of my assistant and place your Velostat thought-screen hats on so they can't control us! Then we must head to the war-room!

@206: Well, the camera/film needed to be able to handle something nearly as bright as the sun and also black as night.
